The physician reports that Janet's blood glucose, LDL, and total cholesterol are elevated. She has also gained a significant amount of weight. Janet is diagnosed with ____.

Accepted Answer

Janet's elevated blood glucose, LDL, and total cholesterol levels, as well as weight gain, are consistent with the diagnosis of HIV lipodystrophy. This condition is a complication of long-term antiretroviral therapy for HIV, and can lead to changes in fat distribution, metabolism, and cardiovascular risk factors. HIV cachexia and AIDS are related to weight loss and immune system dysfunction, respectively, and do not fit the clinical picture described here.
