Effect of Tenofovir on Renal Function among Bangladeshi Adults on Long-term Antiretroviral Therapy: A Cross-sectional Study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Doctors measured kidney function in adults in Bangladesh who had taken tenofovir, an HIV drug, for a long time. Everyone was tested at a single point in time, with no before-and-after tracking. Tenofovir is known to strain the kidneys in some people. A one-time snapshot shows a link between the drug and kidney numbers, not proof that the drug caused the change.
