Fibrosis progression in human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis C virus coinfected adults: Prospective analysis of 435 liver biopsy pairs

Monica A. Konerman, Shruti H. Mehta, Catherine G. Sutcliffe, Trang Vu, Yvonne Higgins, Michael S. Torbenson, Richard D. Moore, David L. Thomas, Mark S. Sulkowski – 20 September 2013 – Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection is associated with progressive liver disease. However, the rate of progression is variable and the ability to differentiate patients with stable versus progressive HCV disease is limited. The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of and risk factors for fibrosis progression in a prospective cohort of coinfected patients.
