 AB    OBJECTIVE: Describe metabolic alterations in patients with VIH illness.
       MATERIAL AND METHOD: There were studied 50 patients; 25 of them showed
       metabolic alterations. We determined total linfocytes, CD4,
       triglicerides, HDL cholesterol, SGOT, SGPT, lactic deshidrogen, blood
       glucosa, protein bound glucosa, iron, total iron bound capacity and
       porcentage of saturations. RESULT: Hyperglycemia in five patients,
       protein bound glucosa raised in seven patients. Hepatic metabolism with
       hipertriglyceridemia in 15, HDL cholesterol in 22, SGOT and SGPT raised
       in 13 patients, LDH in 20 and alkaline phosphatase in 15 patients. Iron
       metabolism with low levels blood of iron in ten patients; total iron
       bound capacity less than 239 ug/dl in 16; iron fixed percent raised in
       eight patients and ferritin levels more than 550 mg/ml in 16 patients.
       All the patients showed linfocytes less than 1000/mm3. Only two patients
       had more them 200 CD4/mm3 and did not showed metabolic alterations in
       iron and liver.
