Low vitamin D is associated with coronary atherosclerosis in women with HIV.

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially among people living with HIV (PLWH). Recently, there has been an increased interest in the role of vitamin D in cardiovascular disease (CVD). While vitamin D deficiency has been associated with CVD in observational studies in the general population, there are limited data in PLWH.

I-FABP Is Higher in People With Chronic HIV Than Elite Controllers, Related to Sugar and Fatty Acid Intake and Inversely Related to Body Fat in People With HIV.

Background: Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) has been shown to be a marker of intestinal damage among people living with HIV. We hypothesized that I-FABP would be increased in chronically HIV-infected patents more than elite controllers and would relate to specific nutrient intake and body composition.

Methods: In an observational study, serum I-FABP was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Mild renal impairment is associated with calcified plaque parameters assessed by computed tomography angiography in people living with HIV.

Objective: To investigate the association of mild renal impairment and coronary plaque in people living with HIV (PLHIV).

Methods: PLHIV and non-HIV controls with serum creatinine less than 1.5 mg/dl were investigated.
