Summary
The purpose of this study is to look at how 2 different anti-HIV drug treatments affect the
liver.
The use of anti-HIV drugs like the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) may be
linked to liver problems like fatty changes, scarring, abnormal liver function tests (LFTs),
and lactic acidemia (an increase in lactic acid in the blood). Increased liver enzymes may
mean liver damage. The way that the liver changes in people with abnormal LFTs and lactic
acidemia is not completely understood.
