Abstract
Treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been associated with hypophosphatemia mainly because of injury of the renal proximal tubulus. Studies on the impact of tenfovir alafenamide (TAF) on phosphate homeostasis in people with HIV (PWH) are limited. Prompted by a patient with phosphate wasting under tenofovir but no other evidence for tubular dysfunction, a retrospective cohort analysis with 102 PWH revealed that hypophosphatemia remained largely unchanged after switching from TDF to TAF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection impairs renal function, thereby affecting renal phosphate metabolism. OBJECTIVES We prospectively estimated the prevalence of phosphate abnormalities (mild, moderate to life-threatening hypophosphataemia, and hyperphosphataemia) before initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was performed on 170 consecutive newly diagnosed ARTnaive, HIV-infected patients attending our HIV/AIDS clinics over a period of one year. Fifty (50) screened HIV-negative blood donors were used for comparison (controls). Blood and urine were collected simultaneously for phosphate and creatinine assay to estimate fractional phosphate excretion (FEPi %) and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). RESULTS eGFR showed significant difference between patients' and controls' medians (47.89ml/ min/1.73m2 versus 60ml/min/1.73m2, p <0.001); which denotes a moderate chronic kidney disease in the patients. Of the 170 patients, 78 (45.9%) had normal plasma phosphate (0.6-1.4 mmol/L); 85 (50%) had hyperphosphataemia. Grades 1, 2 and 3 hypophosphataemia was observed in 3 (1.8%), 3 (1.8%), and 1(0.5%) patient(s) respectively. None had grade 4 hypophosphataemia. Overall, the patients had significantly higher median of plasma phosphate than the controls, 1.4 mmol/L (IQR: 1.0 - 2.2) versus 1.1 mmol/L (IQR: 0.3 - 1.6), p <0.001, implying hyperphosphataemia in the patients; significantly lower median urine phosphate than the controls, 1.5 mmol/L (IQR: 0.7 -2.1) versus 8.4 mmol/L (IQR: 3.4 - 16), p <0.001), justifying the hyperphosphataemia is from phosphate retention; but a non-significantly lower median FEPi% than the controls, 0.96% (IQR: 0.3 -2.2) versus 1.4% (IQR: 1.2 -1.6), p > 0.05. Predictors of FEPi% were age (Odds ratio, OR 0.9, p = 0.009); weight (OR 2.0, p < 0.001); CD4+ cells count predicted urine phosphate among males (p = 0.029). CONCLUSION HIV infection likely induces renal insufficiency with reduced renal phosphate clearance. Thus, hyperphosphataemia is highly prevalent, and there is mild to moderate hypophosphataemia but its life-threatening form (grade 4) is rare among ART-naive HIV patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nucleotide analogues may promote renal and bone toxicity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate markers of osteorenal toxicity in patients affected by hepatitis B virus-related chronic hepatitis treated with lamivudine plus adefovir who were switched to tenofovir. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated 60 consecutive patients at the time of the switch of treatment and after 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. The mean baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 89.3 ± 19.0 mL/min/1.73 m(2). RESULTS During the study period we observed a reduction in mean eGFR up to 6 months after switching to tenofovir, and this remained stable for the last two timepoints. At the end of study, the mean eGFR was 82.6 ± 21.5 mL/min/1.73 m(2), a reduction of 7.5%. The mean baseline proteinuria was 202.6 ± 237.6 mg/24 h. Microhaematuria was observed in 22.6% of patients and hypophosphataemia in 18.6%. After 1 month of tenofovir, we observed a worsening of serum phosphate and parathyroid hormone levels, haemoglobinuria and 24 h proteinuria. After 3 and 12 months of tenofovir, these data tended to recover to baseline levels. A total of 92.6% of patients at baseline had hypovitaminosis D. After supplementation with cholecalciferol, this percentage decreased significantly. We observed a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in 52.7% of patients at baseline; this increased to 77.8% after 6 months of tenofovir, but at the last timepoint the percentage of patients with a reduced BMD had fallen to a level above the baseline. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, patients exposed to lamivudine plus adefovir showed relevant osteorenal damage. The switch to tenofovir provoked a slight reduction in eGFR that stabilized after 6 months. The reduced BMD at baseline did not worsen under tenofovir treatment.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) causes bone, endocrine, and renal changes by an unknown mechanism(s). Data are limited on tenofovir pharmacokinetics and these effects. Using baseline data from a multicenter study of HIV-infected youth on stable treatment with regimens containing TDF (n = 118) or lacking TDF (n = 85), we measured cross-sectional associations of TDF use with markers of renal function, vitamin D-calcium-parathyroid hormone balance, phosphate metabolism (tubular reabsorption of phosphate and fibroblast growth factor 23 [FGF23]), and bone turnover. Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic associations with plasma tenofovir and intracellular tenofovir diphosphate concentrations were explored among those receiving TDF. The mean age was 20.9 (standard deviation [SD], 2.0) years; 63% were male; and 52% were African American. Compared to the no-TDF group, the TDF group showed lower mean estimated glomerular filtration rates and tubular reabsorption of phosphate, as well as higher parathyroid hormone and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D [1,25-OH(2)D] levels. The highest quintile of plasma tenofovir concentrations was associated with higher vitamin D binding protein, lower free 1,25-OH(2)D, higher 25-OH vitamin D, and higher serum calcium. The highest quintile of intracellular tenofovir diphosphate concentration was associated with lower FGF23. Higher plasma tenofovir concentrations were associated with higher vitamin D binding protein and lower free 1,25-OH(2)D, suggesting a functional vitamin D deficiency explaining TDF-associated increased parathyroid hormone. The finding of lower FGF23 accompanying higher intracellular tenofovir diphosphate suggests that different mechanisms mediate TDF-associated changes in phosphate handling. Separate pharmacokinetic properties may be associated with distinct TDF toxicities: tenofovir with parathyroid hormone and altered calcium balance and tenofovir diphosphate with hypophosphatemia and FGF23 regulation. (The clinical trial registration number for this study is NCT00490412 and is available online at http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00490412.).

Abstract
Tenofovir (TFV) is a widely used and effective treatment for HIV infection. Numerous studies have shown that TFV exposure is associated with small but significant declines in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). However, TFV toxicity is targeted mainly at the proximal tubule (PT), and in severe cases can cause the renal Fanconi syndrome or acute kidney injury. Severe toxicity occurs in a minority of patients, but milder PT dysfunction is more common; the long-term significance of this on kidney and bone health is uncertain. Recent work suggests that changes in eGFR on TFV therapy might be explained by inhibition of PT creatinine secretion rather than actual alterations in glomerular function. Risk factors for nephrotoxicity include pre-existing kidney disease, increased age, and low body mass. Mitochondria in the PT are the targets of TFV toxicity, but the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Substantial improvement of renal function occurs in many patients with TFV toxicity upon stopping therapy, but function does not always return to baseline. In recent years, TFV usage has been extended to new clinical spheres, including pediatrics, resource-poor settings and treatment of hepatitis B infection; theoretical reasons exist as to why some of these patients might be at higher or lower risk of TFV toxicity. Finally, strategies have been proposed to prevent TFV toxicity or enhance recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study goal was to determine the effect of vitamin D (VITD) supplementation on tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and C-telopeptide (CTX) in youth infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) receiving and not receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). METHODS This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial enrolled HIV-infected youth 18-25 years based on stable treatment with cART containing TDF (n = 118) or no TDF (noTDF; n = 85), and randomized within those groups to vitamin D3, 50 000 IU (n = 102) or placebo (n = 101), administered at 0, 4, and 8 weeks. Outcomes included change in TRP, PTH, BAP, and CTX from baseline to week 12 by TDF/noTDF; and VITD/placebo. RESULTS At baseline, VITD and placebo groups were similar except those on TDF had lower TRP and higher PTH and CTX. At week 12, 95% in the VITD group had sufficient serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD; ≥20 ng/mL), increased from 48% at baseline, without change in placebo (P < .001). PTH decreased in the TDF group receiving VITD (P = .031) but not in the noTDF group receiving VITD, or either placebo group. The decrease in PTH with VITD in those on TDF occurred with insufficient and sufficient baseline 25-OHD (mean PTH change, -7.9 and -6.2 pg/mL; P = .031 and .053, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In youth on TDF, vitamin D3 supplementation decreased PTH, regardless of baseline 25-OHD concentration. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NCT00490412.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Resistance in nucleoside/nucleotide analog (NA) therapy has always been a challenge in the management of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). CLINICAL STUDIES Initially developed for the treatment of HIV infection, early in vitro and clinical observational studies had shown tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to be also active against CHB. Recent data from various multicenter phase 3 and 4 clinical trials have confirmed TDF being able to achieve a high viral suppression in both NA-naive and -experienced CHB patients. There are also emerging data on the efficacy of TDF in decompensated CHB. Although there are in vitro studies identifying certain mutation loci associated with a reduced susceptibility to TDF, there have so far been no reports of virologic resistance to TDF in clinical studies. TDF has a favorable safety profile, although more long-term data would be needed. CONCLUSIONS TDF has the makings of an "ideal" first-line drug for the treatment of CHB.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The number of HIV-infected adolescents is increasing dramatically. With combination antiretroviral therapy, they are expected to live well into adulthood. However, complications are emerging at a higher rate in the HIV-infected population compared to the general population. HIV-infected adolescents are also at a high risk of sexually transmitted co-infections. This article reviews the main secondary complications and co-infections in the HIV-infected adolescent. RECENT FINDINGS HIV-infected adolescents are at a high risk of sexually transmitted infections. A careful, age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate inquiry into the individual's sexual behavior to assess risk is paramount, in addition to regular screening at medical visits. Treating co-infections is not only important for HIV-infected individuals, but also limits HIV transmission to others. In addition, monitoring and addressing modifiable secondary risk factors for complications such as renal disease, osteopenia or osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease are critical, well before the onset of clinically apparent disease. Using antiretroviral therapy to suppress viral replication and inflammation appears to be a promising strategy for decreasing secondary complication risk, and likely overshadows the toxicities associated with the long-term use of certain antiretrovirals. SUMMARY Assessing and addressing the risk of secondary complications and co-infections in the HIV-infected adolescent is crucial for optimal length and quality of life.

Abstract
The use of antiretroviral therapy has significantly reduced the number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS. However, no current therapy can suppress the virus completely, and as the HIV-infected population continues to live longer new complications are emerging from the persistence of the virus and use of antiretroviral therapy. This review summarizes the clinical evidence linking HIV-associated osteoporosis to direct infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) use. The purported molecular mechanisms involved in bone loss are also reviewed. Additionally, recommendations regarding the pharmacologic management of HIV/ART-related osteoporosis are given.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Tenofovir (TFV) is a nucleotide analogue widely used for the treatment of HIV infection. Despite its proven efficacy and safety, cases of kidney tubular dysfunction have increasingly been reported and concern exists about the risk of nephrotoxicity associated with the long-term use of TFV. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW Evidences about the renal toxicity associated with TFV use as well as predictors are examined. The most relevant publications assessing TFV safety and those which have reported cases of tubular dysfunction were identified and carefully revised. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN Renal damage of clinical significance caused by TFV is uncommon in the short-mid-term. It occurs more frequently in subjects with underlying kidney conditions. TFV primarily results in kidney tubular dysfunction and less frequently in glomerular abnormalities. Kidney damage may progress over time under long-term TFV exposure but is reversible in most cases on drug discontinuation. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Severe renal damage associated with TFV use is uncommon and of multifactorial origin. However, mild tubular dysfunction is recognized in a substantial proportion of TFV-treated individuals and tends to increase with cumulative exposure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) use and renal abnormality in a large cohort of HIV-1-infected children on antiretroviral therapy (ART). DESIGN Nested case-control study. METHODS Patients were from the Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study, a cohort of approximately 95% of HIV-1-infected children in the UK/Ireland. Serum (but not urine) biochemistry results for 2002-2008 were obtained for 456 ART-exposed children (2-18 years) seen at seven hospitals. Cases had either confirmed hypophosphataemia DAIDS grade at least 2 or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 ml/min per 1.73 m; three controls per case were matched by hospital. Conditional logistic regression identified risk factors for renal abnormality. RESULTS Twenty of 456 (4.4%) had hypophosphataemia, and one had eGFR less than 60 ml/min per 1.73 m. Ten of 20 (50%) cases versus 11 of 60 (18%) controls had taken TDF-containing ART for a median [interquartile range (IQR)] of 18 [17-20] months, as part of second-line or salvage therapy. The hypophosphataemia incidence rate was 4.3/100 person-years in the TDF group versus 0.9/100 person-years in those not exposed to TDF. In multivariable analysis, only TDF exposure in the previous 6 months was associated with hypophosphataemia [odds ratio (OR) = 4.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.45-16.0, P = 0.01]. In six of 10 children with hypophosphataemia and at least four subsequent phosphate measurements, phosphate values returned to normal when TDF was stopped; in four with three measures or less, values rose but remained subnormal. CONCLUSIONS Hypophosphataemia was uncommon (4%), but was associated with prolonged TDF use, and was generally reversible following TDF withdrawal. Findings highlight the importance of continuing to monitor longer-term renal function, in particular tubular function, especially in those taking TDF. Further studies assessing urine biochemistry measures which more accurately indicate renal tubular damage are required.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a nucleotide analog used as part of HIV therapy. Its favorable profile in terms of high efficacy, low toxicity and once-daily dosing makes TDF one of the most attractive antiretroviral agents, and therefore, it is widely used. However, cases of kidney tubular dysfunction have been reported and concern exists regarding the long term use of TDF. Owing to the high interindividual variability in the presentation of kidney function abnormalities, research has recently focused on host genetic factors predisposing to TDF-associated renal dysfunction. Transporter proteins involved in the renal elimination of TDF, such as organic anion transporter 1 or multidrug resistant protein 2 or 4, seem to be involved importantly and several genetic polymorphisms in these proteins have been associated with an increased risk of kidney tubulopathy in patients treated with TDF. In this review, all relevant pharmacogenetic factors that may play a role in the risk of renal toxicity associated with the use of tenofovir are summarized.

Abstract
Liver disease is a major cause of mortality in individuals with HIV-HBV coinfection. The pathogenesis of liver disease in this setting is unknown, but is likely to involve drug toxicity, infection of hepatic cells with both HIV and HBV, and an altered immune response to HBV. The availability of therapeutic agents that target both HIV and HBV replication enable dual viral suppression, and assessment of chronic hepatitis B is important prior to commencement of antiretroviral therapy. Greater importance is now placed on HBV DNA levels and staging of liver fibrosis, either by liver biopsy or noninvasive measurement, such as transient elastography, since significant liver fibrosis may exist in the presence of normal liver function tests. Earlier treatment of both HIV and HBV is now generally advocated and treatment is usually lifelong.

Abstract
Because HIV infection has become a chronic disease, it is crucial that metabolic complications secondary to HIV infection or prolonged therapy be diagnosed and managed appropriately over time. Therefore the optimal follow-up becomes complex and time consuming. Our review aimed to provide physicians in charge of HIV-infected patients with key data helping them to diagnose and understand hypophosphataemia in HIV patients. Hypophosphataemia is frequent and sometimes secondary to renal phosphate wasting. It is very rarely a component of a complex proximal tubular disorder, such as Fanconi syndrome. When isolated, hypophosphataemia is easy to rule out and treat. In rare cases, prolonged hypophosphataemia, when related to renal phosphate wasting and tubular dysfunction, might have potential consequences on bone outcome, however, more studies are needed. HIV infection by itself might be a risk factor for bone metabolism abnormalities; antiretroviral drugs might also be involved. Therefore, it seems valuable for patients that the minimal screening should be performed routinely, in order to prevent long-term disabilities.

Abstract
High mortality rates have been reported in the first 90 days of antiretroviral therapy in Zambia and other low-income countries. We report a case of acute hypophosphataemia and hypokalaemia in the first week of antiretroviral therapy in a patient with extreme AIDS wasting. Given its occurrence in an extremely wasted patient, it may be physiologically similar to refeeding syndrome but other causes could be relevant as well. Acute hypophosphataemia may contribute to early antiretroviral therapy associated mortality in low-income countries.

Abstract
In this study, we present a case of renal failure in a patient who was on a tenofovir- containing regimen, resulting in extremely high tenofovir exposure and prolonged tenofovir monotherapy. We considered this case report important because exposure to tenofovir monotherapy might have consequences for future discontinuation strategies in cases of renal failure.

Abstract
Coinfection with HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) has become a significant global health problem. Liver disease is now one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in individuals with HIV, particularly those with viral hepatitis. There are a number of agents available with dual activity against HIV and HBV, and effective treatment depends on understanding the potential advantages and pitfalls in using these agents. There are a number of unresolved issues in the management of HIV/HBV coinfection. These include the role of liver biopsy, the significance of normal aminotransferase levels, serum HBV DNA threshold for treatment, treatment end-points, and the treatment of HBV when HIV does not yet require treatment. Treatment of HBV should be considered in individuals with HIV/HBV coinfection with evidence of significant fibrosis (>/=F2), or with elevated serum HBV DNA levels (>2000 IU/mL). Sustained suppression of serum HBV DNA to below the level of detection by the most sensitive available assay should be the goal of therapy, and, at present, treatment of HBV in HIV/HBV coinfection is lifelong. If antiretroviral therapy is required, then two agents with anti-HBV activity should be incorporated into the regimen. If antiretroviral therapy is not required, then the options are pegylated interferon, adefovir or the early introduction of antiretroviral therapy. Close monitoring is necessary to detect treatment failure or hepatic flares, such as immune reconstitution disease. Further studies of newer anti-HBV agents in individuals HIV/HBV coinfection may advance treatment of this important condition.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor with activity against both HIV and the hepatitis B virus. It has had minimal nephrotoxic effects in early clinical trials, but as clinical use has widened, case reports describing tenofovir-induced renal tubular damage, Fanconi's syndrome and diabetes insipidus have been described. The authors review the pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action and clinical uses of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. The large clinical trials, as well as the case reports of tenofovir-induced kidney injury, are also reviewed. The potential mechanism of renal damage is discussed and recommendations for evaluation and treatment of tenofovir-induced kidney injury are given.
