    Abstract:
    Patients infected with HIV are susceptible to a variety of hepatic processes that are related to immunosuppression or are associated with the risk factors of homosexuality and parenteral drug use. These processes present in a myriad of ways including fever, right upper quadrant pain, and hepatomegaly, or simply as asymptomatic elevations of liver tests.
