AIDS Wasting Syndrome: A Brief OverviewA

AIDS Wasting Syndrome: A Brief Overview

As mentioned earlier, AIDS affects the immune system of the body, making the person susceptible to innumerable infections and diseases. The AIDS wasting syndrome definition can be stated as, 'The involuntary loss of body weight by more than 10 percent, including more than 30 days of diarrhea, weakness or fever caused by HIV infection.' Hence AIDS wasting syndrome is an indication that the HIV infection has progressed into the incurable immune system disease - AIDS, where the condition cannot be reversed. In the AIDS or HIV wasting syndrome, the affected person suffers greatly as the body system begins to degenerate. The body loses approximately 10 percent of its muscle and fat mass, making the person leaner than normal. This muscle loss is involuntary and the person has no control over this physical degeneration.

AIDS wasting syndrome can be caused due to a number of factors like the body's inability to absorb the essential nutrients, increase in the metabolic rate, loss of appetite, depression and sometimes it can also be a result of the side effects of certain medications. Some other causes for this debilitating condition are eruption of sores in the mouth, esophageal ulcers, fluctuating hormonal levels. Opportunistic infections, which may occur due to the presence of pathogens like virus, fungal growth and bacteria in the body, can attack the body due to a weakened immune system.
