<meta name="description" content="An estimated 37.9 million people were living with HIV at&nbsp;the end of 2018, of which 24.7 million could access anti-retroviral therapy (ART). While HIV&nbsp;was once considered a dreadful infection, the introduction of effective ART has transformed HIV into a chronic disease. Reducing HIV-related mortality with ART has meant an increased incidence of common health issues and conditions associated with aging, many of which have an endocrine basis. Individuals infected with HIV exhibit endocrine system dysfunction, ranging from subtle alterations in laboratory values without symptoms to overt glandular failure. Virtually every endocrine organ system can be involved. Although many of these changes can be seen with any significant systemic disease, some changes appear specific to HIV infection.">

While HIV&#x000a0;was once considered a dreadful infection, the introduction of effective ART has transformed HIV into a chronic disease. Reducing HIV-related mortality with ART has meant an increased incidence of common health issues and conditions associated with aging, many of which have an endocrine basis. Individuals infected with HIV exhibit endocrine system dysfunction, ranging from subtle alterations in laboratory values without symptoms to overt glandular failure. Virtually every endocrine organ system can be involved. Although many of these changes can be seen with any significant systemic disease, some changes appear specific to HIV infection.</p><p>During the early AIDS pandemic, endocrinopathic manifestations of HIV infection were mostly secondary to opportunistic infections and HIV-related neoplasms directly involving endocrine organs. However, with the widespread use of ART and the associated reduction in the incidence of the late manifestations of AIDS, much attention has been paid to endocrine dysfunction due to the direct effects of HIV infection, immune reconstitution, and the use of ART.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r1" rid="article-149535.r1">[1]</a><a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r2" rid="article-149535.r2">[2]</a></p></div><div id="article-149535.s3"><h2 id="_article-149535_s3_">Etiology</h2><p>

<b>Adrenal Dysfunction</b>
</p><p>HIV can cause adrenal insufficiency via direct involvement of the gland or the formation of anti-adrenal antibodies secondary to polyclonal B-lymphocyte activation. Individuals with HIV may also have elevated basal cortisol levels with normal or elevated adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) levels; this has been attributed to the stimulation of cortisol secretion by Interleukin 1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and the stimulation of ACTH and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) by Interleukins 1 and 6.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r7" rid="article-149535.r7">[7]</a> The HIV envelope protein gp120 also increases cortisol.

This syndrome has been attributed to decreased receptor affinity for glucocorticoids. Individuals with HIV may have lower basal adrenal androgen levels and an elevated cortisol to dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) ratio. DHEA-S levels decline as HIV progresses.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r10" rid="article-149535.r10">[10]</a></p><p>Adrenal gland involvement by opportunistic infections was common in the pre-ART era; more than 90% of untreated patients with HIV in an autopsy series were found to have cytomegalovirus-induced adrenalitis. Other organisms implicated in adrenal dysfunction include <i>C neoformans</i>, <i>Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare</i>, <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>,&#x000a0;<i>P jiroveci</i>, <i>Histoplasma capsulatum</i>, and <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>. Kaposi sarcoma and lymphoma can also infiltrate the adrenal gland directly.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r11" rid="article-149535.r11">[11]</a></p><p>The antifungal ketoconazole reduces cortisol synthesis; phenytoin and rifampin accelerate steroid clearance. Megestrol acetate, used for HIV-related anorexia and muscle wasting, has intrinsic cortisol-like activity and can suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The long-term use of megestrol can cause Cushing syndrome; its abrupt discontinuation can precipitate adrenal insufficiency. Some protease inhibitors reduce the metabolism of injected triamcinolone and inhaled glucocorticoids, like fluticasone and budesonide, leading to Cushing syndrome or adrenal insufficiency in the case of sudden medication discontinuation.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r12" rid="article-149535.r12">[12]</a>&#x000a0;&#x000a0;</p><p>
<b>Bone Disorders and Osteoporosis</b>
</p><p>Individuals with HIV&#x000a0;may develop osteoporosis from chronic inflammation. HIV glycoprotein&#x000a0;GP120 induces T cells to produce a receptor-activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANK-L); RANK-L activates osteoclasts and promotes bone resorption. The elevated levels of TNF-&#x003b1; and IL-1 seen in HIV infection also activate RANK-L.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r13" rid="article-149535.r13">[13]</a><b>&#x000a0;</b>Additionally, patients infected with HIV frequently have a higher prevalence of the traditional risk factors for osteoporosis, including lower body weight, poor nutrition, tobacco and alcohol use, hypogonadism, and early menopause. Patients with HIV who are coinfected with hepatitis B or C have an increased fracture risk compared to patients infected only with HIV.</p><p>Patients with HIV being treated with ART have an increased prevalence of reduced&#x000a0;bone mineral density&#x000a0;and osteoporosis than either matched controls or untreated HIV patients.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r13" rid="article-149535.r13">[13]</a>&#x000a0;The rate of bone loss is the highest during the first 1 to 2 years after ART initiation and approaches the degree observed in patients using aromatase inhibitors or glucocorticoids. This rapid decrease in bone density has been attributed to immune reconstitution with the resultant upregulation of RANK-L&#x02013;mediated bone resorption. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is associated with a more significant loss of bone density in individuals with HIV; bone density improves with switching to a non&#x02013;tenofovir-based regimen. This decrease in bone density has also been observed in HIV-negative patients who take tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for prophylaxis.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r14" rid="article-149535.r14">[14]</a></p><p>Efavirenz has been associated with decreased serum vitamin D levels via its effects on vitamin D metabolism and binding protein.

<b>Gonadal Dysfunction&#x000a0;in Men</b>
</p><p>Low testosterone levels are&#x000a0;frequently observed in men with HIV. Secondary hypogonadism, or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, characterized by low testosterone levels and inappropriately normal or low gonadotropin levels, is the most commonly observed type of gonadal dysfunction in individuals with HIV.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r19" rid="article-149535.r19">[19]</a>&#x000a0;The etiology of this secondary hypogonadism is likely multifactorial. Chronic illness and weight loss, both observed in advanced HIV disease, are known causes of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism&#x000a0;through alteration of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. The increased levels of IL-1 and TNF-&#x003b1; in HIV suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and decrease testicular steroidogenesis. Direct invasion of the hypothalamus-pituitary unit by opportunistic central nervous system infections like <i>T gondii</i>, CMV, and C<i>andida</i>&#x000a0;spp can also occur in untreated advanced HIV.&#x000a0;</p><p>Individuals with HIV are at an increased risk for malignancies requiring chemoradiation&#x000a0;that&#x000a0;can damage testicular cells&#x000a0;and cause primary hypogonadism. Primary hypogonadism, or hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, is characterized by low testosterone and elevated gonadotropin levels. Opportunistic infection of the testes by <i>Mycobacteria&#x000a0;</i>spp, <i>Treponema pallidum</i>, and fungi can also occur in advanced untreated HIV.&#x000a0;</p><p>Various medications used to treat opportunistic infections can impair testosterone levels. Ketoconazole inhibits gonadal steroidogeneis. Glucocorticoids, megestrol acetate, and methadone can suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Psychotropic medication-induced hyperprolactinemia&#x000a0;may&#x000a0;also reduce gonadotropin levels.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r20" rid="article-149535.r20">[20]</a></p><p>
<b>Gonadal&#x000a0;Dysfunction in Women</b>
</p><p>Women with HIV are at an increased risk for anovulatory cycles and secondary amenorrhea due to disruption in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis via mechanisms similar to those inducing secondary hypogonadism in men. Women with HIV also have lower levels of estradiol, testosterone, and DHEA-S than&#x000a0;women without HIV.</p><p>Data regarding the influence of HIV on the onset of menopause is mixed. Many studies that showed an earlier onset of menopause in HIV-infected women relied on self-reported amenorrhea for more than 12 months to define menopause. However, prolonged secondary amenorrhea is common in HIV-infected women and can be falsely interpreted as menopause. Nevertheless, prolonged amenorrhea from anovulatory cycles or premature menopause may have similar health implications, such as effects on bone health and all-cause mortality.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r21" rid="article-149535.r21">[21]</a><a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r22" rid="article-149535.r22">[22]</a></p><p>Contraception in HIV has received much attention. There are mixed data regarding depot medroxyprogesterone acetate potentially increasing susceptibility to acquiring HIV infection secondary to its glucocorticoid mimetic effects and effects on the vaginal epithelial lining. There is also some concern that ART regimens containing ritonavir may decrease the effectiveness of combined oral contraceptives.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r23" rid="article-149535.r23">[23]</a></p><p>
<b>Growth Hormone Deficiency</b>
</p><p>Before the advent of ART, individuals with advanced HIV- and AIDS-related wasting syndrome were found to have elevated growth hormone (GH) and low insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels, suggesting a condition of GH resistance. These changes were not observed in HIV-infected patients without wasting syndromes.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r24" rid="article-149535.r24">[24]</a></p><p>HIV-related lipodystrophy became a commonly observed metabolic abnormality after the introduction of ART. GH axis dysfunction was investigated as a possible cause of lipodystrophy due to the known role of GH in promoting lipolysis, including that of visceral fat. Multiple studies using provocative testing with various cutoffs for GH levels showed a higher prevalence of biochemical GH deficiency in individuals with HIV than in controls; the clinical significance of this is unclear. Basal GH levels and the amplitude of GH pulses were lower in individuals with HIV with lipodystrophy than in individuals with HIV but no lipodystrophy and individuals without HIV. However, GH pulse frequency was similar in all groups. Several mechanistic causes of these findings have been suggested.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r25" rid="article-149535.r25">[25]</a></p><p>The percent increase in GH levels during provocative testing with&#x000a0;GH-releasing hormone and arginine (GHRH+ARG) is much higher than with GH alone in individuals with HIV lipodystrophy when compared to those without lipodystrophy and healthy controls;&#x000a0;arginine was a more potent stimulator of GH release in individuals with HIV lipodystrophy. Arginine provokes GH secretion&#x000a0;via inhibition of somatostatin tone, and these results suggest that individuals with HIV lipodystrophy have a higher baseline somatostatin tone as the cause of reduced GH secretion.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r25" rid="article-149535.r25">[25]</a></p><p>Free fatty acids (FFA) are known inhibitors of GH secretion. Individuals with HIV lipodystrophy have higher baseline FFA levels. Administering acipimox reduces circulating FFA and has more effectively increased GH levels during provocative testing of individuals with HIV lipodystrophy than in healthy controls. The natural GH secretagogue ghrelin is lower in individuals with HIV lipodystrophy than in healthy controls. ART may indirectly contribute to biochemical&#x000a0;GH deficiency by promoting visceral obesity, but as GH deficiency and visceral obesity promote each other, it is difficult to establish cause and effect. However, GH deficiency in individuals with HIV is not entirely explained by visceral obesity; the GH peak after GHRH+ARG stimulation was lower in patients with HIV than in HIV-negative patients with obesity of predominantly visceral fat. HIV positivity, with its associated chronic inflammatory state, premature aging, fat redistribution, and general health status, may all contribute to GH deficiency.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r24" rid="article-149535.r24">[24]</a><a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r26" rid="article-149535.r26">[26]</a></p><p>
<b>Metabolic Dysfunction</b>
</p><p>
<b>HIV- and AIDS-Wasting Syndromes</b>
</p><p>"Wasting" is the involuntary loss of body weight and cellular mass. Weight loss or wasting was one of the most common AIDS-defining conditions before the introduction of ART. In addition to fat loss, wasting is characterized by a loss of predominately muscle mass&#x000a0;and is directly associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Various definitions&#x000a0;for these wasting syndromes include a greater than 10% loss in body weight since the&#x000a0;initial clinical visit, a decrease in body mass index (BMI) to&#x000a0;&#x0003c;20 kg/m<sup>2</sup> since the most recent prior visit,&#x000a0;or a greater than&#x000a0;5% loss in total body weight in 6 months, with the loss sustained for more than 1 year.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r27" rid="article-149535.r27">[27]</a></p><p>The&#x000a0;etiology of&#x000a0;AIDS-wasting syndrome is likely multifactorial and includes various adverse psychosocial and financial factors in addition to pathophysiologic ones. Patients with AIDS may have oropharyngoesophageal dysphagia and odynophagia secondary to opportunistic infection with CMV, herpetic infection, and <i>Candida </i>spp. Secondary opportunistic infections of the gastrointestinal tract may also result in malabsorption of nutrients.</p><p>Normal GH levels are essential for maintaining protein balance and muscle mass. Patients with HIV- and AIDS-wasting syndromes routinely have elevated GH and low IGF-1 levels suggestive of GH resistance. Testosterone levels also correlate closely with lean muscle mass. Before the ART era, hypogonadism was the most frequently reported endocrinopathy in men with HIV. Greater than 67% of men with untreated HIV had symptoms suggestive of hypogonadism, and greater than 50% had low testosterone levels. Women with AIDS also have lower testosterone levels.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r28" rid="article-149535.r28">[28]</a></p><p>Additionally, patients with HIV are in a hypermetabolic state with an elevated resting energy expenditure mediated by IL-1, TNF, and interferon-&#x003b1;. The introduction of ART has not led to a&#x000a0;consistent reversal or reduction in the prevalence of HIV-associated weight loss.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r29" rid="article-149535.r29">[29]</a><a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r30" rid="article-149535.r30">[30]</a><a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r31" rid="article-149535.r31">[31]</a>&#x000a0;&#x000a0;</p><p>
<b>Disorders of Fat Distribution, Glucose, and Lipid Metabolism</b>
</p><p>Before the introduction of ART, a wasting syndrome characterized by the loss of body muscle and fat and low cholesterol levels was the most commonly described metabolic abnormality in individuals with HIV. However, after the introduction and widespread use of ART, various abnormalities in body fat composition, glucose tolerance, and lipid metabolism were described. Initially, these clinical findings were grouped into a single syndrome similar to the metabolic syndrome called HIV lipodystrophy. HIV lipodystrophy was thought to be related to ART, particularly protease inhibitors. However, it soon became apparent that these metabolic abnormalities have a multifactorial origin and vary among patients.</p><p>
<b>Lipoatrophy and&#x000a0;Lipohypertrophy</b>
</p><p>Lipoatrophy is characterized by the diffuse loss of subcutaneous fat in the legs, buttocks, arms, and face; the lower body and face are commonly more severely affected. Lipoatrophy is distinct from HIV-wasting syndrome. Exposure to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), like stavudine and zidovudine, is the most significant risk factor for developing lipoatrophy; the risk is lower with other NTIs, like abacavir and tenofovir.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r32" rid="article-149535.r32">[32]</a><a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r33" rid="article-149535.r33">[33]</a><a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r34" rid="article-149535.r34">[34]</a>&#x000a0;The pathophysiologic mechanism of NRTI-induced lipoatrophy is hypothesized to be underlying mitochondrial damage; NRTIs have a high affinity for the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase-&#x003b3;.

Excessive fat accumulation in the abdomen, dorsocervical area, neck, and breasts has been widely described since the advent of ART. Initially,&#x000a0;PIs&#x000a0;were&#x000a0;thought to be primarily responsible for these clinical abnormalities. However, abnormal fat accumulation can develop in individuals never treated with PIs, and the risk does not appear elevated compared to other ART classes.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r38" rid="article-149535.r38">[38]</a>&#x000a0;Host and disease factors such as increased age, higher baseline fat content, and low CD4 lymphocyte counts at ART initiation may increase the risk for fat accumulation.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r39" rid="article-149535.r39">[39]</a></p><p>
<b>Glucose Intolerance and Diabetes Mellitus</b>
</p><p>"Prediabetes" or "glucose intolerance" describes abnormal carbohydrate metabolism in patients who do not meet the current diagnostic criteria for diabetes mellitus. Multiple studies have described an increased incidence of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus in individuals with HIV.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r40" rid="article-149535.r40">[40]</a> Several factors likely contribute to the apparent increased risk of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism. Even in individuals with HIV, the dominant risk factors for developing diabetes mellitus are traditional factors&#x000a0;such as increasing age, male sex, higher BMI, and non-White ethnicity.

This increased risk of fragility fracture is apparent almost&#x000a0;10 years earlier in individuals with HIV than in the general population.</p><p>
<b>Gonadal Dysfunction</b>
</p><p>Before the introduction of ART, hypogonadism was the most frequently reported endocrinopathy in men with HIV. At that time, more than 67% of men had symptoms suggestive of hypogonadism, with more than 50% having low testosterone levels associated with weight loss, wasting, and low CD4 lymphocyte counts. Since the introduction of ART, various studies have estimated the prevalence of gonadal dysfunction in men with HIV between 13% and 40%.

In a study of 452 individuals with HIV, the baseline prevalence of lipoatrophy, lipohypertrophy, and mixed forms was 35%, 44%, and 14%, respectively. After one year, 22% had new lipoatrophy, and 16% with baseline lipoatrophy no longer met the diagnostic criteria.

<b>Bone Disorders and Osteoporosis</b>
</p><p>Decreased bone mineral density is typically asymptomatic.

A neurological exam, including an assessment of visual fields, should be&#x000a0;performed if a hypothalamic-pituitary lesion is suspected.</p><p>In addition to secondary amenorrhea, women with decreased androgen levels may also report weight loss, fatigue, low mood, and low libido.&#x000a0;</p><p>Individuals of both sexes with hypogonadism can present with low-energy trauma fractures from early-onset osteoporosis.&#x000a0;</p><p>

<b>HIV- and AIDS-Wasting Syndromes</b>
</p><p>Individuals with AIDS-wasting syndrome present with weight loss, muscle weakness, and frequently poor overall health. They may report decreased appetite, dysphagia, odynophagia, diarrhea, and a history of opportunistic infections. The physical examination may reveal signs of weight loss and cachexia, such as temporal wasting and decreased skin fold thickness. Oropharyngeal mucous membranes should be evaluated for lesions suggestive of opportunistic infections from herpes simplex virus or <i>Candida</i> spp. Individuals with wasting syndromes and concurrent hypogonadism may have diminished sexual desire and erectile dysfunction.

<b>Lipoatrophy and Lipohypertrophy</b>
</p><p>Lipoatrophy&#x000a0;is characterized by the loss of subcutaneous fat, preferentially in the face and extremities. Facial lipoatrophy results in the development of concave cheeks, periorbital hollowing, and visible facial musculature. Loss of subcutaneous fat in the extremities may make subcutaneous veins and musculature more prominent.</p><p>Lipohypertrophy may result in a dorsocervical fat pad, lipomas, the enlargement of supraclavicular fat pads and anterior neck fat, and bilateral gynecomastia. A marked increase in abdominal girth secondary to&#x000a0;increased adiposity may occur;&#x000a0;the waist-to-hip ratio will increase accordingly. HIV-associated lipohypertrophy is predominantly secondary to increased visceral fat rather than subcutaneous fat. The inability to pinch subcutaneous fat between the fingers in the setting of increasing abdominal girth suggests visceral fat accumulation.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r32" rid="article-149535.r32">[32]</a></p><p>
<b>Glucose Intolerance and Diabetes Mellitus</b>
</p><p>Individuals with diabetes mellitus can be asymptomatic, with a diagnosis made only by laboratory testing.

The TSH level is an unreliable diagnostic indicator in central or secondary hypothyroidism;&#x000a0;this diagnosis can be made if the T<sub>4</sub> is low in the proper clinical context. Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) levels correlate inversely with CD4 lymphocyte counts; this must be considered when interpreting total T<sub>4</sub> and total T<sub>3</sub> levels. Elevated levels of thyroid autoantibodies support a diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis as the cause of thyroid dysfunction.</p><p>In a patient with the signs, symptoms, and laboratory results suggestive of hyperthyroidism but the absence of a clear diagnosis, radioactive iodine uptake testing may be beneficial; Graves disease is associated with increased uptake of iodine, and destructive or infiltrative thyroiditis reveals reduced or no uptake.&#x000a0;</p><p>
<b>Adrenal Dysfunction</b>
</p><p>Diagnosing adrenal insufficiency in patients with HIV can be challenging; the presenting symptoms are frequently nonspecific and overlap those of HIV infection. Hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and hypoglycemia are often seen in patients with adrenal insufficiency. Baseline cortisol levels can be elevated by HIV infection and, therefore, cannot be used reliably to rule out adrenal insufficiency. However, a morning cortisol level of less than 3 to 5 &#x000b5;g/dL highly suggests underlying adrenal insufficiency in all patients.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r73" rid="article-149535.r73">[73]</a> A cortisol level&#x000a0;greater than 18&#x000a0;&#x000b5;g/dL 30 or 60 minutes after administration of 250 &#x000b5;g of cosyntropin makes adrenal insufficiency unlikely; cosyntropin is the first 24 amino acids of the N-terminal portion of the intact native ACTH molecule and comprises the biologically active region of intact ACTH. A lower diagnostic threshold for cortisol levels following cosyntropin administration of 14 to 15 &#x000b5;g/dL has been suggested when employing newer monoclonal antibody-based cortisol assays.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r74" rid="article-149535.r74">[74]</a>&#x000a0; &#x000a0;</p><p>Imaging is useful to evaluate the adrenal gland for neoplastic or infectious involvement.

<b>Bone Disorders and Osteoporosis</b>
</p><p>Individuals with HIV should be periodically assessed for osteoporosis risk factors, and serum&#x000a0;vitamin D levels should be measured annually. All postmenopausal women, men aged 50 years or greater, and patients with other additional risk factors for osteoporosis should undergo&#x000a0;dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning.&#x000a0;Even when HIV is included in the risk factors for secondary osteoporosis or adjustment for Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) is made, the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) underestimates the risk of fracture in HIV-infected patients. Patients with documented osteopenia should be screened more regularly, and those with osteoporosis should strongly consider treatment.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r15" rid="article-149535.r15">[15]</a>&#x000a0;&#x000a0;</p><p>
<b>Gonadal Dysfunction</b>
</p><p>The evaluation of gonadal dysfunction in men hinges on establishing biochemical evidence of low testosterone levels. Serum testosterone should be checked in the early morning in a fasting state; testosterone levels fall naturally during the later part of the day and with food intake. The Endocrine Society recommends confirming low testosterone levels on at least 2 different days due to natural day-to-day variations. Most circulating testosterone is bound to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG); a minor fraction is loosely bound to albumin, and the&#x000a0;remainder is unbound or "free." Patients with HIV may have increased circulating SHBG, which can increase the total testosterone to within the normal range despite underlying hypogonadism. "Bioavailable testosterone" is the total of free&#x000a0;and&#x000a0;albumin-bound testosterone; this calculated value is considered a more accurate reflection of testosterone levels. The use of available direct analog-based free testosterone immunoassays is not recommended as they are inaccurate.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r70" rid="article-149535.r70">[70]</a></p><p>If low testosterone levels are associated with low or "inappropriately normal" gonadotropin levels, hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction should be suspected, and further evaluation with sellar imaging and assessment for other pituitary hormonal deficiencies should be undertaken. However, elevated gonadotropin levels suggest primary testicular dysfunction or primary hypogonadism. These patients should be evaluated for Klinefelter syndrome and testicular involvement by opportunistic infections.&#x000a0;&#x000a0;</p><p>
<b>Growth Hormone Deficiency</b>
</p><p>Biochemical GH deficiency is defined as inadequate GH response to provocative testing. The GHRH+ARG stimulation test is the most studied provocative&#x000a0;test in HIV-infected patients, although the insulin tolerance test is considered the general diagnostic gold standard. An isolated IGF-1 level may be insufficient to diagnose GH deficiency but valuable when provocative test results are inconclusive.&#x000a0;</p><p>A GH peak cutoff of 7.5&#x000a0;&#x003bc;g/L on provocative testing is the current&#x000a0;diagnostic standard of biochemical GH deficiency in HIV-infected patients. The clinical manifestations and markers of GH deficiency, such as quantification of visceral adiposity, bone mineral density, quality of life scores, and cardiovascular risk, were significantly different in patients on either side of this cutoff value.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r24" rid="article-149535.r24">[24]</a>&#x000a0;A GH level above the cutoff essentially rules out GH deficiency.&#x000a0;&#x000a0;</p><p>A diagnosis of GH deficiency should only be made when biochemical GH deficiency is documented in the appropriate clinical context;&#x000a0; multiple factors can influence the hormonal response to provocative testing. This is of particular importance in HIV-infected patients&#x000a0;in whom reduced GH secretion may be functional. When imaging reveals pituitary or hypothalamic injury or disease and laboratory testing reveals biochemical GH deficiency, true GH deficiency is highly likely.</p><p>
<b>HIV- and AIDS-Wasting Syndromes</b>

<b>Thyroid Dysfunction</b>
</p><p>Uncontrolled hypothyroidism&#x000a0;may cause anemia, electrolyte abnormalities, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and increased overall cardiovascular mortality. Myxedema coma is the result of severe, longstanding, untreated hypothyroidism, is characterized by symptoms secondary to decreased metabolism in multiple organs, and is associated with a high mortality rate.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r113" rid="article-149535.r113">[113]</a>&#x000a0;</p><p>The thyrotoxicosis of uncontrolled hyperthyroidism can cause arrhythmias, heart failure, and osteoporosis. Thyroid storm is a life-threatening thyrotoxic state frequently precipitated by another illness, surgery, or similar physiologic stressor.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r114" rid="article-149535.r114">[114]</a></p><p>All types of thyroid dysfunction can adversely affect menstrual cycles, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes.</p><p>
<b>Adrenal Dysfunction</b>
</p><p>Without adequate treatment, acute adrenal insufficiency causes death from cardiovascular collapse.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r67" rid="article-149535.r67">[67]</a> Chronic adrenal insufficiency is associated with weight loss, its associated complications, and lower overall quality of life.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r66" rid="article-149535.r66">[66]</a>&#x000a0;Cushing syndrome increases the risk of glucose intolerance, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease.</p><p>
<b>Bone Disorders and Osteoporosis</b>
</p><p>The most important clinical consequence of osteoporosis is a fracture. Vertebral fractures, followed by hip and forearm fractures, are the most commonly seen. Fractures are associated with significant pain, disability, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of all-cause mortality.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r15" rid="article-149535.r15">[15]</a>&#x000a0;&#x000a0;</p><p>
<b>Gonadal Dysfunction</b>
</p><p>Hypogonadism is associated with sexual dysfunction, weight loss, a decreased sense of well-being, and overall poor quality of life. Hypogonadism causes osteoporosis and increases the risk of fragility fractures. Independent of HIV status, mortality is increased in men with hypogonadism. Data is mixed regarding a potential increase in overall cardiovascular risk with testosterone replacement therapy, especially in older men. In a recent randomized placebo-controlled trial, middle-aged and older men with a high risk for or known cardiovascular disease who received testosterone did not have a higher incidence of cardiovascular adverse events.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r115" rid="article-149535.r115">[115]</a></p><p>Testosterone replacement therapy can cause erythrocytosis, increase LDL, worsen sleep apnea, and increase the risk for venous thromboembolism. There is no definitive evidence that testosterone replacement&#x000a0;therapy increases the risk of developing prostate cancer. However, it is recommended that men 40 years and older with an elevated baseline risk of prostate cancer and all men older than 50 years should be monitored closely with serum prostate-specific antigen after initiating testosterone replacement therapy.&#x000a0;</p><p>
<b>Growth Hormone Deficiency</b>
</p><p>Patients with the onset of GH deficiency in childhood are at significantly increased risk of short stature. All patients with GH deficiency are at increased risk of reduced bone mineral density with resulting fractures, reduced lean muscle mass, and increased fat mass. Patients with GH deficiency routinely score lower on quality-of-life questionnaires than their healthy counterparts.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r116" rid="article-149535.r116">[116]</a></p><p>
<b>Metabolic Dysfunction</b>
</p><p>
<b>HIV- and AIDS-Wasting Syndromes</b>
</p><p>In addition to the increased risk of mortality, patients with these syndromes are at increased risk for nutritional deficiencies, osteoporosis,&#x000a0;and fractures. Patients with HIV- or AIDS-wasting syndromes consistently score lower on health-related quality-of-life measures.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r30" rid="article-149535.r30">[30]</a>&#x000a0;</p><p>
<b>Disorders of Fat Distribution, Glucose, and Lipid Metabolism</b>
</p><p>Lipodystrophy is associated with dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and chronic systemic inflammation, which can increase overall cardiovascular disease risk. Body fat distribution abnormalities&#x000a0;can lead to stigmatization, affecting self-esteem and quality of life.<a class="bibr" href="#article-149535.r32" rid="article-149535.r32">[32]</a>&#x000a0;</p><p>The complications of diabetes mellitus are manifold and include cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, peripheral vascular disease, and diabetic retinopathy.

Despite HIV being an independent risk factor, traditional risk factors remain strong predictors of cardiovascular disease risk in this population. Hence, the optimal approach to cardiovascular risk reduction&#x000a0;includes lifestyle interventions such as smoking cessation, dietary intervention, physical activity, weight control, and avoidance of excessive alcohol consumption.&#x000a0;</p></div><div id="article-149535.s12"><h2 id="_article-149535_s12_">Enhancing Healthcare Team Outcomes </h2><p>Individuals living with HIV are at an increased risk for developing&#x000a0;many endocrinopathies compared to the general population. The clinical presentation of hormonal dysfunction is frequently nonspecific and overlaps with that of HIV infection itself. A high index of clinical suspicion and careful coordination by primary care, infectious disease, cardiology, and endocrinology specialists is needed to diagnose and manage endocrinologic dysfunction appropriately.</p><p>Measuring hormone levels is the most basic and indispensable part of evaluating any endocrine abnormality. An awareness of the unique effects of HIV status on hormone levels helps prevent misdiagnosis. Close attention should be paid to potential drug interactions between antiretrovirals and medications used to treat endocrinologic dysfunction. Pharmacists are indispensable in guiding patients and practitioners through various antiretroviral-induced adverse effects.</p><p>Complications related to advanced HIV and immunocompromise are&#x000a0;no longer common in developed countries due to the widespread use of ART. However, HIV status and treatment with ART increase the risk for metabolic complications and cardiovascular disease. The currently available risk calculators underestimate the risk of cardiovascular disease despite considering HIV as an independent risk factor. This raises the need for aggressive preventative measures.&#x000a0;</p></div><div id="article-149535.s13"><h2 id="_article-149535_s13_">Review Questions</h2><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>
