Low Body Mass Index as a Risk Factor for Antiretroviral Drug-Related Liver Injury Among HIV Patients.

CONCLUSION: our study indicates that low baseline BMI may increase the risk for developing ARLI; while low baseline CD4 cell count does not; therefore, we suggest that ALT test should be performed on a routine basis among HIV-AIDS patients for early detection of ARLI, particularly in patients with low BMI.
