Renal function during tenofovir‑based antiretroviral therapy among people living with HIV in Lilongwe, Malawi: findings from the prospective LighTen cohort study
Most first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimes in Sub-Saharan Africa contain tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) which has a nephrotoxic potential. Baseline renal function assessment is not feasible in many settings and therefore not required prior to starting ART according to Malawian guideli...

| Zusammenfassung: | Most first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimes in Sub-Saharan Africa contain tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) which has a nephrotoxic potential. Baseline renal function assessment is not feasible in many settings and therefore not required prior to starting ART according to Malawian guidelines. We assessed renal function over 36 months in people living with HIV (PLHIV) starting TDF-based ART at Lighthouse Clinic, Lilongwe, Malawi. |
