Objective: To identify the incidence and risk factors of tenofovir (TDF) induced nephrotoxicity among People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) receiving TDF-based anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in a South Indian Hospital.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among HIV-infected ART naïve patients taking TDF as part of either a first-line or second-line ART between July 2013 and June 2015 at Asha kirana Hospital Mysore, India.
Results: A total of 380 patients have been initiated on TDF-based ART. Out of these, 335 patients were on tenofovir+lamivudine+efavirenz, 30 patients were on the tenofovir+lamivudine+nevirapine regimen and 25 patients were on tenofovir+lamivudine+atazanavir/ritonavir regimen. Renal impairment was documented for 35 patients with 9.21% incidence. 34% of renal impaired patients had a severe impairment with eGFR<30 ml/min. Elderly patients (>61 y) had higher chances of developing TDF toxicity compared to adult patients (P=0.0018). Other possible risk factors for TDF-induced renal impairment was CD4>200 (P=0.003). TDF was withdrawn and substituted with Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI) drug following the diagnosis of renal impairment.
Conclusion: TDF-associated renal impairment was not uncommon in real-life practice and considered as a frequent complication during treatment with TDF. Risk factors for developing renal impairment include increasing age and CD4>200 cells.
