Summary

  • Boosted PIs and tenofovir DF have been associated with significant declines in renal function in combination and individually[Goicoechea 2008; Gallant 2009; Morlat 2013]
  • Tenofovir DF should be avoided in patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2[Lucas 2014]
  • Tenofovir AF is less nephrotoxic than tenofovir DF in clinical trials and is recommended as either preferred over or as an appropriate alternative to tenofovir DF in US guidelines
