Reversibility of Glomerular Renal Function Decline in HIV-Uninfected Men and Women Discontinuing Emtricitabine-Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use is associated with a small but statistically significant decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We investigated the reversibility of eGFR decline among HIV-uninfected adults discontinuing PrEP.

Methods

Data were from the Partners PrEP Study, a randomized trial of daily oral TDF and emtricitabine (FTC)-TDF PrEP among African HIV-uninfected men and women with baseline creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min. Serum creatinine was measured quarterly while on-study medication and at month 1 and 2 after discontinuation. eGFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration Equation.

Results

A total of 3924 individuals had a poststudy drug serum creatinine me
