Objective: This study was aimed at providing an analysis of the correlation between CD4/CD8 counts and some coagulation factors in HIV-Positive Iranian patients.
Methods: A case-control study on 58 HIV-infected patients and control group (58 healthy individuals). Patients and controls were matched for sex and age. In this study, several blood parameters were measured in 58 HIV-infected patients and the controls. Laboratory data were then measured including hemoglobin, platelets, homocysteine, serum levels of IgM and IgG antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), IgM and IgG anticardiolipin antibotdies (aCL), and CD4+ and CD8+ cell count.
Results: The HIV-infected patients, compared to healthy controls, showed a significant decline in platelets, CD4 count and CD8 count (p<0.0001), and an increase of homocysteine (p<0.0001) and IgG aPL levels (p<0.0001). No statistical difference was found between patients with CD4 count £200 and CD4 count >200 in the evaluated variables.
Conclusion: The results showed that thrombophilic abnormality in the form of hyperhomocysteinemia is more frequent in HIV-infected patients and should be considered by clinicians in view of an early diagnosis of the hypercoagulability state to prevent thrombotic complications.
