Progressive Decline of the Glomerular Filtration Rate in HIV-infected Children Treated With Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate-based Regimens in West and Central Africa.

A cross-sectional study of 358 HIV-1-infected children and adolescents living in Sub-Saharan Africa treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based regimens for a median of 1.5 interquartile range [0.6-3.1 years] showed a loss of glomerular filtration rate estimated to be 0.41 mL/min/1.73 m per month of treatment. In contrast, there was no decrease depending on the duration of the previous antiretroviral treatment.
