نویسنده
چکیده
The widely used antiretroviral agent tenofovir disoproxil fumarate has been associated with proximal tubular injury and decreased glomerular filtration rate in HIV-infected individuals. Phase 3 trials of a new prodrug, tenofovir alafenamide, suggest a lower potential for kidney injury.
