Case Report: Nutritional Management of Comorbidities in AIDS
By Jeanette Kimszal
Disease Description � Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is
the result of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)1
� Global Epidemic – Rural & Developed Countries1
� Pathogenesis1 � HIV: Infects T-helper lymphocyte cells (CD4+ cells) � 4 Stages of HIV
� Acute à Clinical Latency à Symptomatic HIVàAIDS
� Results in Immuno Deficiency à No CD4+ cells1
� Diagnosis of AIDS � Blood Tests: ELISA2 & Western Blot3
Disease Description Continued
� Transmitted via sexual contact or IV drug use1
� Mean age: 40-44 years1
� Common in ethnic populations1 � 52% Blacks � 25% Latinos
HIV/AIDS & Malnutrition � Immuno suppression à opportunistic infections (Ois)1
� Fungal and Bacterial Infections
� Compromised immunity causes metabolic changes leading to:1
� Wasting
� Malabsorption
� Obesity
� Nutritional Deficiencies (B12, Beta-Carotene, A, E, D, Zinc, Fe)
� Poor Intake, Early Satiety
� Dementia
� Medication Drug Side Effects1
� Insulin resistance à Diabetes
� éLipids éTriglycerides àHeart Disease
� HIV-Associated Lipodystrophay Syndrome (HALS)
� Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
Evidence-Based Recommendations
� Enhance nutrition intake à Increase immune function4
� Sufficient micro- & macronutrients4
� Maintain Healthy weight with lean body mass1
� Energy requirements vary à need adequate kcal1
� RDI for Protein: 0.8-1.0 gram/kg/day1
� Diets high éin Ca2+, fruits, & vegetables may prevent metabolic syndrome4 � A study of HIV patients showed >2 servings/day of dairy
had lower BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure4
Evidence-Based Recommendations
� There is a relationship between obesity, hypertension and calcium intake in this population4
� Functional foods help to improve immune status and reduce oxidation of immune cells5
� éMicronutrients éCD4+ counts5
� Probiotics improve intestinal health and immunity5
� êBMI correlated with higher intakes of dairy & grains and overall better nutrition6
� HIV/AIDS patients with poor nutrition tend to be overweight6
Evidence-Based Recommendations
� 100% RDI of Vitamin/mineral supplementation éhealth benefits
� éLevels of Vitamins A, zinc & selenium êrisk of infection1
� éVitamin C slowed disease progression1
� éMVI êoral & GI problems, fatigue, and sudden upper respiratory infections
� Micronutrients increase intestinal mucosa cells7
� Decrease side effects of ART therapy7
Evidence-Based Recommendations
� Antioxidants improve immunity8
� Probiotics protect the gut and increase WBC8
� Micro and macronutrients help maintain lean body mass8
� Balanced diet and exercise can decrease lean body wasting9
Evidence-Based Recommendations
� Nutrition Support may benefit HIV/AIDS patients with poor intake
� Enteral Nutrition (EN) in the 1st week of hospitalization leads to positive health outcomes11
� HIV/AIDs patients with AKI receiving early PN have longer hospital stay, greater infections, and longer periods of renal replacement therapy12
� éEN intestinal, immune function, CD4+, & body weight13
� Early nutrition support helps émetabolic absorption13
� EN in sepsis patients linked with better outcomes compared with EN and PN or PN alone14
Nutrition Care Process (NCP)
� Standard form of practice for dietetic professionals when giving care
� Established to enhance treatment & ensure reliable outcomes of nutrition care
� Treat patients individually

Deter further skin breakdown; heal current pressure ulcers and prevent any new ones from developing.
Stabilized potassium and phosphorus levels with Nepro to maintain normal electrolyte balance.
Provide an enteral formula that gives adequate protein but for limited renal function. Long-term:
Deter weight loss, gain 10% of body weight to be within the patient’s DBW Maintain glycemic control with a Hemoglobin A1c of 5-6%. Maintain good renal function and prevent further deterioration

Intervention: Calorie dense/electrolyte controlled, low-protein enteral formula
Biochemical Data, Medical Tests, and Procedures (BD). Glucose (1.5).
Glycemic control will stabilize with daily normal ranges (60-110 mg/dl)
Goals: Stabilized potassium and phosphorus maintain electrolyte balance. Maintain normal range of daily glucose (60-110 mg/day). Deter further skin breakdown; heal pressure ulcers Give adequate protein to maintain renal function
Biochemical Data, Medical Tests, and Procedures (BD). Prealbumin (1.11.2).
Prealbumin status will increase to a normal range (15-36 ml/dL)
Biochemical Data, Medical Tests, and Procedures (BD). Electrolyte and renal profile (1.2).
BUN, creatinine, sodium, potassium, chloride, and phosphorus levels will be within the normal range
Biochemical Data, Medical Tests, and Procedures (BD). Anemia (BD 1.10).
The patient’s hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCH, MCV, and MCHC will be within normal range
Conclusion � HIV/AIDS patients can become malnourished
� Nutrition needs vary depending on other present diseases
� Optimize calories and protein to prevent weight loss
� Nutrients important and should be supplemented if needed
� Nutrition support may be needed if PO intake inadequate
� Monitor Blood Glucose, TG, and chol in those on ART therapy
� Monitor renal function in individuals with HTN
