“…The relatively high systemic and renal tubular tenofovir exposures obtained with TDF may affect mitochondrial function in the renal tubules [1,2], resulting in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and proteinuria [3,4]. If unrecognized, continued exposure to TDF may result in acute tubular injury and proximal renal tubulopathy (PRT, Fanconi syndrome), which is characterized by phosphate and glucose wasting as a result of reduced reabsorption of these solutes from the glomerular ultrafiltrate [1,5,6].…”
