Abstract
This study provides a longitudinal evaluation of biomarkers
of cardiovascular relevance during abacavir
therapy in previously treatment-naı¨ve patients as well as
treatment-experienced patients with HIV infection. We
evaluated levels of D-dimer, as well as highly sensitive C
reactive protein (hs-CRP), IL-6, IL-8, tumour necrosis
factor (TNF)a, monocyte chemoattractant protein
(MCP-1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) [5–8], as
well as adiponectin and leptin [9,10], as inflammatory and
metabolic markers potentially relevant to cardiovascular
disease.
