摘要:Very often the psychological repercussions of lipodystrophy in HIV infected patients are important to a level that can reach reluctance to antiretroviral therapy or lead to depression and anxiety. The pathogenesis of HIV lipodystrophy remains unclear. Consistent studies (cohort and in vitro) of adipocytes, skeletal muscle and hepatocytes point toward a complex of factors involving antiretroviral theories, environmental and host-related aspects. In this light, the newly born regenerative plastic surgery seems to be a very promising therapeutic solution.
