Incidence of atazanavir-associated hyperbilirubinemia in Korean HIV patients: 30 months follow-up results in a population with low UDP-glucuronosyltransferase1A1*28 allele frequency.

Abstract excerpt

Hyperbilirubinemia is frequently observed in Caucasian HIV patients treated with atazanavir. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 polymorphism, UGT1A1*28, which is associated with atazanavir-induced hyperbilirubinemia, is less common in Asians than in Caucasians. However, little is known about the incidence of atazanavir-associated hyperbilirubinemia in Asian populations. Our objective was to investigate the incidence...
