Abstract
Although some dietary supplements have been reported to cause renal dysfunction, there have been few reports of supplement-induced Fanconi syndrome. We present the case of a 56-year-old woman with Fanconi syndrome that developed after she consumed a red yeast rice supplement. She was referred to our hospital because of renal dysfunction, and was found to have electrolyte abnormalities, including hypophosphatemia and hypouricemia, renal diabetes, and hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, and was, therefore, diagnosed with Fanconi syndrome. Renal biopsy revealed proximal tubular injury characterized by severely degenerated tubular epithelial cells as well as mild hypocellular fibrosis. We speculated that the red yeast rice supplement, which the patient had been consuming for approximately 1 year, might be a cause of her syndrome, because reports of renal dysfunction associated with the consumption of red yeast rice supplements have emerged in Japan since 2024. After the supplement was discontinued and oral prednisolone treatment was initiated, the patient's renal function improved and her electrolyte abnormalities were ameliorated. Furthermore, even after tapering off and discontinuing the prednisolone over approximately 12 weeks, her renal function remained. Because Fanconi syndrome may be caused by various exogenous substances, the taking of a thorough medical history is crucial, including with respect to the use not only of prescription medications, but also other substances, including supplements.

Abstract
Tenofovir, as nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), is used to prevent and cure HIV/AIDS. Ample evidence confirmed that the nephrotoxicity of tenofovir has been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. It seems that transplantation with healthy mitochondria instead of damaged mitochondria may be a beneficial approach to therapy. Therefore, it decided to investigate the impact of mitotherapy on tenofovir against renal proximal tubular cells (RPTCs) toxicity by measurement of oxidative stress and cytotoxicity biomarkers and restoring of mitochondrial function on isolated mitochondria. EC50 of tenofovir was achieved at 40 μM following 2 h incubation in Earle's solution (pH = 7.4; 37 °C). Freshly isolated mitochondria (80 μg/ml) were added to damage RPTCs affected by tenofovir in treated groups. One Way ANOVA analysis showed that healthy mitochondrial transplantation decreased oxidative stress biomarkers following tenofovir toxicity in RPTCs. Our data revealed that mitotherapy makes cell survival possible in RPTCs affected by tenofovir. In addition, it supposed that a novel and ideal strategy for the treatment of chemicals-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Individuals affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have a growing demand for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to heightened risk for cardiovascular diseases and extended life expectancy. However, CABG outcomes in HIV patients are not well-established, with insights only from small case series studies. This study conducted a comprehensive, population-based examination of in-hospital CABG outcomes in HIV patients. Patients underwent CABG were identified in National Inpatient Sample from Q4 2015-2020. Patients with age < 18 years and concomitant procedures were excluded. A 1:5 propensity-score matching was used to address preoperative group differences. Among patients who underwent CABG, 613 (0.36%) had HIV and were matched to 3119 out of 167,569 non-HIV patients. For selected HIV patients, CABG is relatively safe, presenting largely similar outcomes. After matching, HIV and non-HIV patients had comparable in-hospital mortality rates (2.13% vs. 1.67%, p = 0.40). Risk factors associated with mortality among HIV patients included previous CABG (aOR = 14.32, p = 0.01), chronic pulmonary disease (aOR = 8.24, p < 0.01), advanced renal failure (aOR = 7.49, p = 0.01), and peripheral vascular disease (aOR = 6.92, p = 0.01), which can be used for preoperative risk stratification. While HIV patients had higher acute kidney injury (AKI; 26.77% vs. 21.77%, p = 0.01) and infection (8.21% vs. 4.18%, p < 0.01), other complications were comparable between the groups.

Abstract
Tenofovir is an integral part of antiretroviral therapy used to treat HIV. Long-term use of tenofovir has been associated with decreased glomerular filtration rate, leading to chronic kidney disease, as well as acidosis, electrolyte imbalances, and tubular dysfunction. Tenofovir can also disrupt bone health by decreasing renal phosphate absorption, contributing to osteomalacia. This leads to disruption in mineral metabolism, elevated parathyroid hormone levels, and ultimately, low bone mineral density. Replacing tenofovir with alternative antiretroviral therapy can improve kidney function if done early in the course of the disease. Here, we discuss a case of a 65-year-old woman with HIV who presented with advanced renal failure and hypophosphatemia-induced bone fracture attributed to long-term use of tenofovir. We conclude monitoring kidney function and considering alternative antiretroviral therapy is important to prevent and manage these side effects in patients on long-term tenofovir therapy.

Abstract
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a BCS Class III compound and an oral pro-drug of Tenofovir (TFV) with limited oral bioavailability. The bioavailability of the oral intake increases with food as a result of the low stability of the active substance in the stomach. The reference drug is "Vemlidy® 25 mg Film Tablet", which contains 25 mg of TAF in "hemifumarate" form, is under patent protection until 15.08.2032 by Gilead, and so the "monofumarate" form was used in the present study. At first, a pilot study was conducted involving 12 subjects under fed conditions. The results of the pilot study revealed the test and reference products were not bioequivalent, as a result of insufficient statistical power and high inter-subject variability. Secondly, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulation was performed based on the pilot study results and literature data. Finally, the power of the design was increased and the pivotal study design was optimized into a four-period, full-replicated, cross-over study with 34 subjects under fed conditions and it was concluded that the test and reference products were bioequivalent. In conclusion, the present study proved the importance of a correct study design with higher statistical power for a BCS Class III compound with high variability, to present the pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Phosphorus is an essential element for all living organisms and is involved in various biological pathways. A severe hypophosphatemia can lead to serious complications (acute heart or respiratory failure, rhabdomyolysis, hemolysis…) and increases mortality in patients at risk. Various drugs are known to induce hypophosphatemia through various mechanisms. The aim of this study was to highlight the main drugs associated with hypophosphatemia and to deduce the underlying mechanisms based on a descriptive analysis and a case/non-case analysis using the cases of drug-induced hypophosphatemia reported to the French Pharmacovigilance Network. A total of 368 cases of hypophosphatemia were included in the study. Patients' mean age was 52±18 years. One hundred and ninety-one cases (52%) were serious including 131 (36%) hospitalizations. The median value of serum phosphorus level was 0.54mmol/L [0.40-0.66] (n=309). Those 368 cases corresponded to 185 different suspected substances among which the most frequent drugs were tenofovir disoproxil (n=175; 48%), ferric carboxymaltose (n=29; 8%), denosumab (n=16; 4%), zoledronic acid (n=14; 4%) and hydrochlorothiazide (n=10; 3%). For these five drugs, a significant disproportionality was found. Tenofovir-disoproxil related hypophosphatemia occurred more than one year after its introduction, and a renal tubulopathy (Fanconi's syndrome) was reported in 44 cases (25%). Hypophosphatemia related to iron carboxymaltose occurred within a median of 20 days after injection and was mostly severe. Mechanism included the fibroblast growth factor 23 which can be measured to confirm drug origin. Concerning anti-osteoporosis treatments, hypophosphatemia could be explained by their mechanism of action (abrupt increase of parathormone induced by hypocalcemia) but the patient history (malignancy condition) was a major bias. For hydrochlorothiazide, hyphosphatemia was often moderate, associated with other electrolytic disturbances and occurred during a long-term treatment. Awareness of healthcare professionals is essential to detect as soon as possible hypophosphatemia and its complications related to these drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the evolution of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the presence of renal tubular dysfunction during the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and to determine the risk factors involved. METHODS Retrospective cohort observational study of adults with chronic hepatitis B. Exclusion: hepatitis C virus-HBV coinfection, diabetes, baseline GFR less than 60 ml/min. Measurements of serum and urinary creatinine and phosphate; urinary albumin, retinol-binding protein (RBP) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were performed. Univariate and multivariate analyses tracked factors associated with worsening GFR. RESULTS A total of 120 individuals were included: 35% NAÏVE (G1); 49.2% HBV using TDF (G2); 15.8% HBV-HIV using TDF (G3); 63.3% men; 60.8% white; 30% hypertensive. Average age was 50.5 years (SD ± 12.9 years). Reactive HBeAg predominated in G3 ( P < 0.001) and cirrhosis in G2 ( P < 0.036). NGAL was elevated in 5.3% of cases (G1 = 3.2%; G2 = 8.7%; G3 = 0%; P = 0.582), RBP in 6.7% (G1, G3 = 0%; G2 = 13.6%; P = 0.012), urinary phosphate/creatinine ratio in 16.2% (G1 = 15.2%; G2 = 14.5%; G3 = 23.5%; P = 0.842) and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio in 12.9% (G1 = 12.2%; G2 = 10.7%; G3 = 21.1%; P = 0.494). Worsening of renal function occurred in 22.5% of the population (G1 = 11.9%; G2 = 28.8%; G3 = 26.3%; P = 0.122), independently associated only with systemic arterial hypertension [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.14; P = 0.008], but not to TDF (AOR = 2.66; P = 0.110) or male sex (AOR = 2.39; P = 0.135). However, the concomitance of these variables generated a high estimated risk for this outcome (51%). CONCLUSIONS Renal tubular dysfunction was uncommon according to NGAL, RBP or urinary phosphate/creatinine ratio. TDF was not an independent factor for worsening renal function, significantly associated only with systemic arterial hypertension. However, in hypertensive men, the use of TDF should be monitored.

Abstract
During the drug development process, organ toxicity leads to an estimated failure of one-third of novel chemical entities. Drug-induced toxicity is increasingly associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, but identifying the underlying molecular mechanisms remains a challenge. Computational modeling techniques have proven to be a good tool in searching for drug off-targets. Here, we aimed to identify mitochondrial off-targets of the nephrotoxic drugs tenofovir and gentamicin using different in silico approaches (KRIPO, ProBis and PDID). Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) were predicted as potential novel off-target sites for tenofovir and gentamicin, respectively. The predicted targets were evaluated in vitro, using (colorimetric) enzymatic activity measurements. Tenofovir did not inhibit DHODH activity, while gentamicin potently reduced PDH activity. In conclusion, the use of in silico methods appeared a valuable approach in predicting PDH as a mitochondrial off-target of gentamicin. Further research is required to investigate the contribution of PDH inhibition to overall renal toxicity of gentamicin.

Abstract
Dent disease type 1 is characterized by pathogenic CLCN5 gene variants and impaired receptor-mediated endocytosis in proximal tubules. However, mutation-related abnormalities in proximal tubules have not yet been described. Here, we present three patients with CLCN5 alterations and distinct morphological changes of the apical endocytic-lysosomal apparatus. The proximal tubular ultrastructure was investigated in kidney biopsy samples of three boys genotyped for non-nephrotic proteinuria. Controls: seven patients with nephrotic-range glomerular proteinuria. The genotyping findings revealed an already-known missense mutation in one patient and hitherto undescribed frameshift variants in two patients. Low-molecular-weight proteinuria, focal global glomerulosclerosis, proximal tubular changes, and tubular calcium deposits characterized each case. Three subsets of proximal tubular cells were observed: those without any abnormality, those with aplasia of apical endocytic-lysosomal apparatus and shrinkage of cells, and those with hypoplasia of apical endocytic apparatus, accumulation of proteinaceous substance in dysmorphic lysosomes, and dysmorphic mitochondria. The distribution of subsets varied from patient to patient. In one patient with a frameshift variant, an oxidative stress-like injury of proximal tubular cells and podocytes accompanied the above-mentioned alterations.

J Infect Dis 2024; 229:108-116. [PMID: 37470458 DOI: 10.1093/infdis/jiad273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated whether higher fibrotic burden was independently associated with poorer kidney outcomes in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis. METHODS A total of 1691 patients with radiologically diagnosed HBV-related cirrhosis but without baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) who underwent transient elastography (TE) between March 2012 and August 2018 were selected. The study outcome was the composite of development of incident CKD, defined as the occurrence of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2 or proteinuria (≥1+ on dipstick test) on 2 consecutive measurements during follow-up, 50% decline in eGFR or onset of end-stage kidney disease (initiation of chronic dialysis), or all-cause mortality. RESULTS The mean age was 53.4 years and 1030 (60.9%) patients were male. During 8379 person-years of follow-up (median 5.2 years), 60 (3.5%) patients experienced study outcomes. When stratified according to TE-defined fibrotic burden, multivariable Cox models revealed that risk of poorer kidney outcomes was 2.77-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.16-6.63; P < .001) higher in patients with liver stiffness range indicating cirrhosis (≥11.7 kPa), compared to those without significant liver fibrosis (<7.9 kPa). These associations remained significant even after adjusting for vigorous confounders. CONCLUSIONS Higher fibrotic burden assessed using TE was independently associated with poorer kidney outcomes in patients with HBV-related cirrhosis.

Tenofovir-Induced Fanconi Syndrome Presenting with Life-Threatening Hypokalemia: Review of the Literature and Recommendations for Early Detection. J Clin Med 2023; 12:7178. [PMID: 38002790 PMCID: PMC10672342 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12227178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor that has been widely used for the treatment of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. Despite the excellent safety records of this regimen, a few cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome have been reported among HIV patients exposed to TDF. However, in the HBV monoinfection scenario, only five cases of TDF-associated Fanconi syndrome have been reported thus far, two of them providing a confirmatory kidney biopsy. Here, we describe the case of a 68-year-old woman with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who developed TDF-induced Fanconi syndrome that reverted after TDF withdrawal from tenofovir alafenamide. Though the overall risk of TDF-associated severe renal toxicity in HBV patients appears to be negligible, both glomerular and tubular functions should be monitored in patients exposed to TDF.

Association of HIV and viral suppression status with hospital acute kidney injury in the era of antiretroviral therapy. Kidney Int 2023; 104:1008-1017.

Abstract
In the modern era, it is unknown if people that are virally suppressed with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to people without HIV and no studies have compared the risk of AKI by viral suppression status. Here, we determined the associations of HIV status and AKI among PWH with and without viral suppression compared to people without HIV. An observational cohort study of PWH and people without HIV hospitalized in a large New York City health system between 2010-2019 was conducted. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine associations between HIV status and risk of AKI, severe AKI and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among 173,884 hospitalized patients, 4,718 had HIV; 2,532 (53.7%) were virally suppressed and 2,186 (46.3%) were not suppressed. Compared to people without HIV, PWH with and without viral suppression were at increased risk of AKI (adjusted hazard ratio 1.27, 95% confidence interval 1.15, 1.40 and 1.73, 1.58, 1.90, respectively) and AKI requiring kidney replacement therapy (1.89, 1.27, 2.84 and 1.87, 1.23, 2.84, respectively). Incremental, graded associations were observed between HIV status and Stage 2 or 3 AKI, and among AKI survivors, and incident CKD. The elevated risk of AKI across ages of PWH was similar in magnitude to older people without HIV. Thus, regardless of virologic control, HIV is an independent risk factor for AKI among hospitalized patients. Future studies should determine the mechanisms by which HIV increases susceptibility to AKI and identify strategies to prevent AKI in PWH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Renal and bone impairment has been reported in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients receiving long-term tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) therapy. This study aimed to assess the incidence of renal and bone impairment in CHB patients with long-term TDF therapy and to identify the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and renal function in these patients after switching to entecavir (ETV) or tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study collected clinical data from CHB patients who received TDF monotherapy over 96 weeks. The changes in BMD and renal function were analyzed after 96 weeks of switching antiviral regimens (ETV or TAF) or maintenance TDF. RESULTS At baseline, 154 patients receiving TDF monotherapy over 96 weeks were enrolled, with a younger median age of 36.75 years, 35.1% (54/154) of patients experienced elevated urinary β2 microglobulin and 20.1% (31/154) of patients had reduced hip BMD (T<-1). At week 96, among the 123 patients with baseline normal BMD, patients who maintained TDF (n=85) had experienced a decrease in hip BMD, while patients who switched antiviral regimens (n=38) experienced an increase (-13.97% vs 2.34%, p<0.05). Among patients with a baseline reduced BMD (n=31), the alterations in BMD were similar in patients who maintained TDF (n=5) and those who switched antiviral regimens (n=26) (-15.81% vs 7.35%, p<0.05). Irrespective of baseline BMD status, renal function decreased significantly in patients who maintained TDF and improved in patients who switched antiviral regimens. CONCLUSIONS Younger CHB patients on long-term TDF therapy are at high risk for bone and renal impairment, with the risk being reduced when switched to ETV or TAF.

Abstract
Piperacillin/tazobactam (PT) is one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics for critically ill patients in intensive care. PT has been reported to cause direct nephrotoxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We investigated the mechanisms underlying PT nephrotoxicity using a mouse model. The kidneys and sera were collected 24 h after PT injection. Serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and renal pathologies, including inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis, were examined. Serum BUN, creatinine, and NGAL levels significantly increased in PT-treated mice. We observed increased IGFBP7, KIM-1, and NGAL expression in kidney tubules. Markers of oxidative stress, including 8-OHdG and superoxide dismutase, also showed a significant increase, accompanied by mitochondrial damage and apoptosis. The decrease in the acyl-coA oxidase 2 and Bcl2/Bax ratio also supports that PT induces mitochondrial injury. An in vitro study using HK-2 cells also demonstrated mitochondrial membrane potential loss, indicating that PT induces mitochondrial damage. PT appears to exert direct nephrotoxicity, which is associated with oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage in the kidney tubular cells. Given that PT alone or in combination with vancomycin is the most commonly prescribed antibiotic in patients at high risk of acute kidney injury, caution should be exercised.

Abstract
Introduction Sub-Saharan Africa remains challenged by the highest burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), an epidemic of tuberculosis (TB), and increasing number of people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART), all of which may result in kidney injury. Methods This observational cohort study describes the spectrum of kidney disease in PWH in South Africa, between 2005 and 2020. Kidney biopsies were analyzed in 4 time periods as follows: early ART rollout (2005-2009), tenofovir disoproxil (TDF) introduction (2010-2012), TDF-based fixed dose combination (2013-2015), and ART at HIV diagnosis (2016-2020). Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with HIV-associated nephropathy or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (HIVAN/FSGS) and tubulointerstitial disease (TID). Results We included 671 participants (median age 36, interquartile range, 21-44 years; 49% female; median CD4 cell count 162 [interquartile range, 63-345] cells/mm3). Over time, ART (31%-65%, P < 0.001), rate of HIV suppression (20%-43%, P < 0.001), nonelective biopsies (53%-72%, P < 0.001), and creatinine at biopsy (242-449 μmol/l, P < 0.001) increased. A decrease in HIVAN (45%-29% P < 0.001) was accompanied by an increase in TID (13%-33%, P < 0.001). Granulomatous interstitial nephritis accounted for 48% of TID, mostly because of TB. Exposure to TDF was strongly associated with TID (adjusted odds ratio 2.99, 95% confidence interval 1.89-4.73 P < 0.001). Conclusion As ART programs intensified and increasingly used TDF, the spectrum of kidney histology in PWH evolved from a predominance of HIVAN in the early ART era to TID in recent times. The increase in TID is likely due to multiple exposures that include TB, sepsis, and TDF as well as other insults.

Abstract
Background: Tenofovir regimens remain the preferred formulations in the HIV guidelines for adolescents and young adults in Zambia and globally. However, some adolescents and young adults are maintained on abacavir by clinicians because of anxiety about possible proximal tubular dysfunction from tenofovir. We assessed the effect of two regimens on proximal tubular function in adolescents and young adults living with HIV. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 180 participants with HIV receiving either tenofovir or abacavir for ≥12 months at the largest tertiary teaching hospital. Two first-morning urine and blood specimens were collected and analyzed for proximal tubular markers, glomerular function, electrolytes, and routine monitoring tests. Proximal tubular function was determined by measuring the fractional excretion of phosphate (FePO4). Proximal tubular dysfunction was defined by FePO4 ≥20% regardless of serum phosphate and FePO4 ≥10-20% when serum phosphate was below 0.81mmol/L. Results: The prevalence of proximal tubular dysfunction was 6% and was higher in the tenofovir group than the abacavir (10% vs. 2%, p<0.058). However, after adjusting for potential confounders, tenofovir was not associated with worse proximal tubular function. Age, urine b2-microglobulin: creatinine ratio, C-reactive protein, and urine protein: creatinine ratio was all associated with worsening proximal tubular dysfunction. Reduced estimated glomelurar filtration rate (eGFR) was found in four (2.2%) participants; three of which were on tenofovir. Conclusions: Proximal tubular dysfunction defined by FePO4 was more prevalent in the tenofovir group than the abacavir group, but not after adjusting for age. Our findings should be interpreted with caution as age differences between the two groups confounded the results.

Abstract
We report on an 80-year-old man diagnosed with Fanconi syndrome induced by mizoribine after 4 weeks of administration to treat membranous nephropathy. Mizoribine is an oral immunosuppressant that inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase and is widely used in Japan for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and nephrotic syndrome, as well as after renal transplantation. Acquired Fanconi syndrome is often caused by drugs (antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, and anticonvulsant drugs) and is sometimes caused by autoimmune diseases, monoclonal light chain-associated diseases, or heavy metal poisoning. In our patient, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, glucosuria, hypouricemia, and severe proteinuria resolved gradually after discontinuation of mizoribine administration, despite oral administration of prednisolone followed by a single intravenous injection of rituximab. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with Fanconi syndrome induced by mizoribine based on his clinical course and his typical laboratory data with the absence of proximal tubular acidosis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Fanconi syndrome possibly induced by mizoribine. Although the precise mechanism by which mizoribine induces proximal tubular dysfunction is unknown, we suggest that nephrologists should be aware of the onset of Fanconi syndrome, a rare complication during mizoribine treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW With the advent of antiretroviral therapy, HIV infection has become a chronic disease in developed countries. RECENT FINDINGS Non-HIV-driven risk factors for kidney disease, such as APOL1 risk variants and other genetic and environmental factors, have been discovered and are better described. Consequently, the field of HIV-associated kidney disease has evolved with greater attention given to traditional risk factors of CKD and antiretroviral treatment's nephrotoxicity. In this review, we explore risk factors of HIV-associated kidney disease, diagnostic tools, kidney pathology in HIV-positive individuals, and antiretroviral therapy-associated nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Comorbidities are increasing in people living with HIV (PLHIV), and different treatment options have advantages and disadvantages. It is important to compare information from real-life treated cases. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the data on efficacy and clinical and laboratory findings during different antiretroviral therapies. METHODS Retrospective file data of 47 PLHIV using Dolutegravir and Lamivudine (3TC/DTG), Tenofovir Alafenamide Emtricitabine and Elvitegravir Cobicistat (EVG/c/TAF/FTC) and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate and Emtricitabine and Efavirenz (EFV/FTC/TDF) were analyzed. Data of the patients at baseline and 12 months after antiretroviral therapy (ART) were compared. RESULTS About 47 PLHIV were included in the study. Of the patients, 22 (46.8%) were in the 3TC/DTG group, 19 (40.4%) in the EVG/c/TAF/FTC, and 6 (12.8%) in the EFV/FTC/TDF group. After 12 months of treatment, BMI, HIV-RNA, CD4, WBC, hemoglobin, MCV, PDW, RDW, platelet count, creatinine, eGFR, HDL, AST, glucose values of the 3TC/DTG group were significantly different (p<0.05). After 12 months of treatment, BMI, HIV-RNA, CD4 count, MCV, creatinine, eGFR, HDL, LDL, TG, TC, AST, and HOMA-IR values of the EVG/c/TAF/FTC treatment group were significantly different (p<0.05). After 12 months of treatment, HIV RNA, total bilirubin, and LDL values in the EFV/FTC/TDF treatment group were statistically different (p<0.05). CONCLUSION All treatment groups showed a decrease in HIV-RNA and an increase in CD4 at the end of one year. While CD4 elevation is lower in EFV recipients than in integrase inhibitor (INSTI) recipients, weight gain is higher in INSTI recipients. While the lipid profile was more positively affected in the 3TC/DTG group, lipid profiles were more negatively affected in the EVG/c/TAF/FTC group, although liver and kidney functions were preserved.

Abstract
Nephrotoxicity is a major cause of kidney disease and failure in drug development, but understanding of cellular mechanisms is limited, highlighting the need for better experimental models and methodological approaches. Most nephrotoxins damage the proximal tubule (PT), causing functional impairment of solute reabsorption and systemic metabolic complications. The antiviral drug tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is an archetypal nephrotoxin, inducing mitochondrial abnormalities and urinary solute wasting, for reasons that were previously unclear. Here, we developed an automated, high-throughput imaging pipeline to screen the effects of TDF on solute transport and mitochondrial morphology in human-derived RPTEC/TERT1 cells, and leveraged this to generate realistic models of functional toxicity. By applying multiparametric metabolic profiling-including oxygen consumption measurements, metabolomics, and transcriptomics-we elucidated a highly robust molecular fingerprint of TDF exposure. Crucially, we identified that the active metabolite inhibits complex V (ATP synthase), and that TDF treatment causes rapid, dose-dependent loss of complex V activity and expression. Moreover, we found evidence of complex V suppression in kidney biopsies from humans with TDF toxicity. Thus, we demonstrate an effective and convenient experimental approach to screen for disease relevant functional defects in kidney cells in vitro, and reveal a new paradigm for understanding the pathogenesis of a substantial cause of nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) associates with renal tubular dysfunction (RTD) in some people living with HIV (PLWH). We studied clinical and genetic factors associated with RTD in Thai PLWH receiving TDF. RTD was diagnosed in 13 of 65 (20%) patients. The median (interquartile range) age and CD4 cell counts were 43.8 (40.4-50.9) years and 554 (437-716) cells/mm3, respectively. The median duration of TDF use was 46.9 (31.5-54.1) months. Univariate logistic regression demonstrated body mass index (BMI), concomitant use of protease inhibitor (PI), hyperlipidemia, and homozygous C/C SNP rs1059751 of ABCC4 gene as predisposing factors of RTD. In multivariate model, concomitant use of PI [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 11.39; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.59- 81.56; P = 0.015], hyperlipidemia (aOR 8.59; 95% CI, 1.46-50.40; P = 0.017), and BMI (aOR 0.76; 95% CI, 0.59-0.98; P = 0.037) remained associated with RTD in patients receiving TDF. PLWH receiving TDF with the presence of these factors should be closely monitored for RTD.

Abstract
Four decades after the first cases of HIV were reported, kidney disease remains an important comorbidity in people with HIV (PWH). Both HIV-associated nephropathy and immune complex kidney disease were recognized as complications of HIV infection in the early years before treatment was available. Although the introduction of effective antiretroviral therapy in the late 1990s resulted in dramatic improvements in survival and health in PWH, several commonly used antiretroviral agents have been associated with kidney injury. HIV infection and treatment may also promote the progression of comorbid chronic kidney disease due to traditional risk factors such as diabetes, and HIV is one of the strongest "second hits" for the high-risk APOL1 genotype. Unique considerations in the management of chronic kidney disease in PWH are largely related to the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy, with potential for toxicity, drug-drug interactions, and polypharmacy. PWH who develop progressive chronic kidney disease are candidates for all modalities of kidney replacement therapy, including kidney transplantation, and at some centers, PWH may be candidates to serve as donors for recipients with HIV. Transplantation of kidney allografts from donors with HIV also offers a unique opportunity to study viral dynamics in the kidney, with implications for kidney health and for research toward HIV cure. In addition, HIV-transgenic animal models have provided important insights into kidney disease pathogenesis beyond HIV, and experience with HIV and HIV-related kidney disease has provided important lessons for future pandemics.

Abstract
There are no data comparing the efficacy and safety of prophylactic entecavir (ETV), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) for HBV-infected cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and renal safety of ETV, TDF and TAF in this setting. HBsAg-positive cancer patients treated with ETV (n = 582), TDF (n = 200) and TAF (n = 188) during chemotherapy were retrospectively enrolled. Antiviral efficacy and risk of renal events were evaluated. The rate of complete viral suppression at 1 year was 94.7%, 94.7% and 96.1% in ETV, TDF and TAF groups, respectively (p = 0.877). A significant proportion of patients developed renal dysfunction during chemotherapy. The incidences of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease stage migration were comparable among the ETV, TDF and TAF groups. TAF was relatively safe in patients with predisposing factors of AKI, including hypoalbuminemia and cisplatin use. In patients who were switched from TDF to TAF during chemotherapy, the renal function remained stable and viral suppression was well maintained after switching. In conclusion, TAF had good renal safety and comparable efficacy with ETV and TDF for HBV-infected cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Switching from TDF to TAF during chemotherapy is safe, without a loss of efficacy.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is currently one of the most pressing global health problems. Since its discovery in 1978, HIV has claimed the lives of more than 35 million people, and the number of people infected today reaches 37 million. In the absence of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), HIV infection is characterized by a steady decrease in the number of CD4+ T-lymphocytes, but its manifestations can affect the central nervous, cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine and genitourinary systems. At the same time, complications induced by representatives of pathogenic and opportunistic microflora, which can lead to the development of bacterial, fungal and viral concomitant infections, are of particular danger. It should be borne in mind that an important problem is the emergence of viruses resistant to standard therapy, as well as the toxicity of the drugs themselves for the body. In the context of this review, of particular interest is the assessment of the prospects for the creation and clinical use of drugs based on small interfering RNAs aimed at suppressing the reproduction of HIV, taking into account the experience of similar studies conducted earlier. RNA interference is a cascade of regulatory reactions in eukaryotic cells, which results in the degradation of foreign messenger RNA. The development of drugs based on the mechanism of RNA interference will overcome the problem of viral resistance. Along with this, this technology makes it possible to quickly respond to outbreaks of new viral diseases.

Abstract
In line with recent OECD activities on the use of AOPs in developing Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment (IATAs), it is expected that systematic mapping of AOPs leading to systemic toxicity may provide a mechanistic framework for the development and implementation of mechanism-based in vitro endpoints. These may form part of an integrated testing strategy to reduce the need for repeated dose toxicity studies. Focusing on kidney and in particular the proximal tubule epithelium as a key target site of chemical-induced injury, the overall aim of this work is to contribute to building a network of AOPs leading to nephrotoxicity. Current mechanistic understanding of kidney injury initiated by 1) inhibition of mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ (mtDNA Polγ), 2) receptor mediated endocytosis and lysosomal overload, and 3) covalent protein binding, which all present fairly well established, common mechanisms by which certain chemicals or drugs may cause nephrotoxicity, is presented and systematically captured in a formal description of AOPs in line with the OECD AOP development programme and in accordance with the harmonized terminology provided by the Collaborative Adverse Outcome Pathway Wiki. The relative level of confidence in the established AOPs is assessed based on evolved Bradford-Hill weight of evidence considerations of biological plausibility, essentiality and empirical support (temporal and dose-response concordance).

Abstract
Damage to the proximal tubule (PT) is the most frequent cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in humans. Diagnostic and treatment options for AKI are currently limited, and a deeper understanding of pathogenic mechanisms at a cellular level is required to rectify this situation. Metabolism in the PT is complex and closely coupled to solute transport function. Recent studies have shown that major changes in PT metabolism occur during AKI and have highlighted some potential targets for intervention. However, translating these insights into effective new therapies still represents a substantial challenge. In this article, in addition to providing a brief overview of the current state of the field, we will highlight three emerging areas that we feel are worthy of greater attention. First, we will discuss the role of axial heterogeneity in cellular function along the PT in determining baseline susceptibility to different metabolic hits. Second, we will emphasize that elucidating insult specific pathogenic mechanisms will likely be critical in devising more personalized treatments for AKI. Finally, we will argue that uncovering links between tubular metabolism and whole-body homeostasis will identify new strategies to try to reduce the considerable morbidity and mortality associated with AKI. These concepts will be illustrated by examples of recent studies emanating from the authors' laboratories and performed under the auspices of the Swiss National Competence Center for Kidney Research (NCCR Kidney.ch).

Abstract
Introduction The use of remdesivir is not recommended in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection unless potential advantage offset disadvantage due to limited safety data. Our objective was to assess the safety of remdesivir in patients with end-stage renal failure and evaluate the outcome of this vulnerable group. Methodology We carried out a retrospective observational study in dialysis-dependent ESRD patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who received a standard 5-day course of remdesivir (powder form) from June 2020 to December 2020. Oxygen requirement, hemogram, inflammatory markers, and liver function tests before and after remdesivir treatment were compared. Result We found thirty-nine such patients with mean age of patients 58.79 ± 12.13 years. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiac diseases were present in 58.97, 87.17, and 23.07% of patients, respectively. Mean oxygen saturation on admission was 85.41% (±7.73). There were no events of hepatotoxicity, altered behavior, or infusion reaction. There was statistically significant improvement in total leukocyte count, absolute lymphocyte counts, and C-reactive protein (p value <0.001, 0.01, and 0.02, respectively) post remdesivir treatment. A total of 60% of patients had improved oxygenation while 13% of patients had no change in oxygen requirement after completion of remdesivir course. Mortality in our study was 28.21%. We did not find any significant benefit of early remdesivir administration (3–6 days of illness) on mortality or days of hospitalization. Conclusion The use of remdesivir in end-stage kidney disease is safe. Improvement in oxygenation was significant when baseline oxygen requirement was less. It requires prospective controlled trials with larger population to assess its impact on mortality. How to cite this article Shah MK, Parikh M, Prajapati D, Kute VB, Bhende P, Prajapati A, et al.

Abstract
Medications are a common cause of AKI especially for patients admitted to hospital wards and the intensive care unit. Although drug-related kidney injury occurs through different mechanisms, this review will focus on three specific types of tubulointerstitial injury. Direct acute tubular injury develops from several medications, which are toxic to various cellular functions. Their excretory pathways through the proximal tubules contribute further to AKI. Drug-induced AKI may also develop through induction of inflammation within the tubulointerstitium. Medications can elicit a T cell-mediated immune response that promotes the development of acute interstitial nephritis leading to AKI. Although less common, a third pathway to kidney injury results from the insolubility of drugs in the urine leading to their precipitation as crystals within distal tubular lumens, causing a crystalline-related AKI. Intratubular obstruction, direct tubular injury, and localized inflammation lead to AKI. Clinicians should be familiar with the pathogenesis and clinical-pathologic manifestations of these forms of kidney injury. Prevention and treatment of AKI relies on understanding the pathogenesis and judiciously using these agents in settings where AKI risk is high.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although many guidelines recommend switching tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to other antiretroviral agents if there is a progressive decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) not explained by other causes, a definite cut-point of the eGFR for TDF switching is not known. METHODS A cohort study was conducted among people living with HIV (PLHIV) who switched from TDF to other agents due to declined eGFR. Participants were categorized according to the eGFR at TDF switching: early-switch (eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and late-switch (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) groups. Binary logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with complete recovery of renal function. RESULTS Of 141 participants, mean age was 54.2 ± 12.2 years and 74.5% were male. Median duration of TDF use was 5.2 years. Mean eGFR at the time of TDF switching was 72.4 ± 13.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the early-switch group and 47.0 ± 14.8 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the late-switch group. Six months after TDF switching, mean eGFR significantly increased to 84.2 ± 13.5 (p = .001) and 58.5 ± 13.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 (p < .001) in early-switch and late-switch groups, respectively. At 12 months after TDF switching, 44.4% of participants in early-switch group and 2.3% of participants in late-switch group had eGFR recovery to ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (p < .001). Multivariate analysis showed that only early switching (vs late switching) of TDF was associated with complete recovery of renal function at 12 months after TDF switching [OR, 7.542; 95% CI, 2.441-11.119; p = .028]. CONCLUSIONS In PLHIV with TDF-associated renal insufficiency, eGFR significantly recovers after switching TDF to other agents. Early TDF switching has a higher chance of complete recovery of renal function.

Abstract
HIV-1 pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) relies on inhibition of HIV-1 replication steps. To understand how PrEP modulates the immunological environment, we derived the plasma proteomic profile of men receiving emtricitabine-tenofovir (FTC-TDF) or emtricitabine-tenofovir alafenamide (FTC-TAF) during the CHAPS trial in South Africa and Uganda (NCT03986970). The CHAPS trial randomized 144 participants to one control and 8 PrEP arms, differing by drug type, number of PrEP doses and timing from final PrEP dose to sampling. Blood was collected pre- and post-PrEP. The inflammatory profile of plasma samples was analyzed using Olink (N=92 proteins) and Luminex (N=33) and associated with plasma drug concentrations using mass spectrometry. The proteins whose levels changed most significantly from pre- to post-PrEP were CCL4, CCL3 and TNF-α; CCL4 was the key discriminator between pre- and post-PrEP samples. CCL4 and CCL3 levels were significantly increased in post-PrEP samples compared to control specimens. CCL4 was significantly correlated with FTC drug levels in plasma. Production of inflammatory chemokines CCL4 and CCL3 in response to short-term PrEP indicates the mobilization of ligands which potentially block virus attachment to CCR5 HIV-1 co-receptor. The significant correlation between CCL4 and FTC levels suggests that CCL4 increase is modulated as an inflammatory response to PrEP.

Abstract
The proximal tubule (PT) reabsorbs most of the glomerular filtrate and plays an important role in the uptake, metabolism and excretion of xenobiotics. Some therapeutic drugs are harmful to the PT, and resulting nephrotoxicity is thought to be responsible for approximately 1 in 6 of cases of children hospitalized with acute kidney injury (AKI). Clinically, PT dysfunction leads to urinary wasting of important solutes normally reabsorbed by this nephron segment, leading to systemic complications such as bone demineralization and a clinical scenario known as the renal Fanconi syndrome (RFS). While PT defects can be diagnosed using a combination of blood and urine markers, including urinary excretion of low molecular weight proteins (LMWP), standardized definitions of what constitutes clinically significant toxicity are lacking, and identifying which patients will go on to develop progressive loss of kidney function remains a major challenge. In addition, much of our understanding of cellular mechanisms of drug toxicity is still limited, partly due to the constraints of available cell and animal models. However, advances in new and more sophisticated in vitro models of the PT, along with the application of high-content analytical methods that can provide readouts more relevant to the clinical manifestations of nephrotoxicity, are beginning to extend our knowledge. Such technical progress should help in discovering new biomarkers that can better detect nephrotoxicity earlier and predict its long-term consequences, and herald a new era of more personalized medicine.

Renal function in Japanese HIV-1-positive patients who switch to tenofovir alafenamide fumarate after long-term tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: a single-center observational study. AIDS Res Ther 2021; 18:94. [PMID: 34876151 PMCID: PMC8650504 DOI: 10.1186/s12981-021-00420-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has a strong antiviral effect, but TDF is known to cause renal dysfunction. Therefore, we are investigating preventing renal dysfunction by replacing TDF with tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF), which is known to be relatively safe to the kidneys. However, the changes in renal function under long-term use of TAF are not known. In this study, we evaluated renal function in Japanese HIV-1-positive patients switching to TAF after long-term treatment with TDF. METHODS A single-center observational study was conducted in Japanese HIV-1-positive patients. TDF was switched to TAF after at least 48 weeks of the treatment so we could evaluate the long-term use of TDF. The primary endpoint was the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 144 weeks of TAF administration. In addition, we predicted the factors that would lead to changes in eGFR after long-term use of TAF. RESULTS Of the 125 HIV-1-positive patients who were prescribed TAF at our hospital during the study period, 70 fulfilled the study criteria. The eGFR at the time of switching from TDF to TAF was 81.4 ± 21.1 mL/min/1.73 m2. eGFR improved significantly after 12 weeks of taking TAF but significantly decreased at 96 and 144 weeks. The factors significantly correlated with the decrease in eGFR at 144 weeks on TAF were eGFR and weight at the start of TAF. CONCLUSIONS In this study, it was confirmed that switching to TAF was effective for Japanese HIV-1-positive patients who had been taking TDF for a long period of time and had a reduced eGFR. It was also found that the transition status depended on the eGFR and weight at the time of switch. Since HIV-1-positive patients in Japan are expected to continue taking TAF for a long time, renal function and body weight should be carefully monitored.

A knock-in rat model unravels acute and chronic renal toxicity in glutaric aciduria type I. Mol Genet Metab 2021; 134:287-300. [PMID: 34799272 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgme.2021.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
Glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I, OMIM # 231670) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH). The principal clinical manifestation in GA-I patients is striatal injury most often triggered by catabolic stress. Early diagnosis by newborn screening programs improved survival and reduced striatal damage in GA-I patients. However, the clinical phenotype is still evolving in the aging patient population. Evaluation of long-term outcome in GA-I patients recently identified glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline with increasing age. We recently created the first knock-in rat model for GA-I harboring the mutation p.R411W (c.1231 C>T), corresponding to the most frequent GCDH human mutation p.R402W. In this study, we evaluated the effect of an acute metabolic stress in form of high lysine diet (HLD) on young Gcdhki/ki rats. We further studied the chronic effect of GCDH deficiency on kidney function in a longitudinal study on a cohort of Gcdhki/ki rats by repetitive 68Ga-EDTA positron emission tomography (PET) renography, biochemical and histological analyses. In young Gcdhki/ki rats exposed to HLD, we observed a GFR decline and biochemical signs of a tubulopathy. Histological analyses revealed lipophilic vacuoles, thinning of apical brush border membranes and increased numbers of mitochondria in proximal tubular (PT) cells. HLD also altered OXPHOS activities and proteome in kidneys of Gcdhki/ki rats. In the longitudinal cohort, we showed a progressive GFR decline in Gcdhki/ki rats starting at young adult age and a decline of renal clearance. Histopathological analyses in aged Gcdhki/ki rats revealed tubular dilatation, protein accumulation in PT cells and mononuclear infiltrations. These observations confirm that GA-I leads to acute and chronic renal damage. This raises questions on indication for follow-up on kidney function in GA-I patients and possible therapeutic interventions to avoid renal damage.

Abstract
Proteinuria is common in the setting of HIV infection, and may reflect comorbid kidney disease, treatment-related nephrotoxicity, and HIV-related glomerular diseases. The mechanisms of podocyte and tubulointerstial injury in HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) have been the subject of intense investigation over the past four decades. The pathologic contributions of viral gene expression, dysregulated innate immune signaling, and ancestry-driven genetic risk modifiers have been explored in sophisticated cellular and whole animal models of disease. These studies provide evidence that injury-induced podocyte dedifferentiation, hyperplasia, cytoskeletal dysregulation, and apoptosis may cause the loss of glomerular filtration barrier integrity and slit diaphragm performance that facilitates proteinuria and tuft collapse in HIVAN. Although the incidence of HIVAN has declined with the introduction of antiretroviral therapy, the collapsing FSGS lesion has been observed in the context of other viral infections and chronic autoimmune disorders, and with the use of interferon-based therapies in genetically susceptible populations. This highlights the fact that the lesion is not specific to HIVAN and that the role of the immune system in aggravating podocyte injury warrants further exploration. This review will summarize our progress in characterizing the molecular mechanisms of podocyte dysfunction in HIVAN and other forms of HIV-associated kidney disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proximal renal tubulopathy (PRT) is an infrequent complication of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). It remains to be established whether tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) can be safely administered to individuals who experienced PRT on TDF. METHODS Individuals with a history of TDF-associated PRT and current estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 initiated TAF and were followed for 96 weeks. The primary outcome of interest was recurrent PRT. Secondary outcomes were changes in kidney biomarkers, bone biomarkers, and bone mineral density (BMD). Data were analyzed using multilevel mixed-effects linear regression models. The trial was registered under EudraCT 2016-003345-29. RESULTS All 31 participants [median age 55 (inter-quartile range 51, 60) years, 97% men, 87% White ethnicity] remained on TAF at week 96, and none developed glycosuria or recurrent PRT. Participants experienced small declines in eGFR-creatinine [-1.9 (95% confidence interval: -3.5 to -0.3) mL/min/1.73 m2/yr; P = 0.024], but not in eGFR-cystatin C [-0.9 (-2.1 to 0.4) mL/min/1.73 m2/yr; P = 0.16]. Ten (32%) and 5 (16%) participants experienced rapid (>5 mL/min/1.73 m2/yr) decline in eGFR-creatinine and eGFR-cystatin C. No significant change in other kidney biomarkers, bone turnover, or BMD was observed (P > 0.2). CONCLUSIONS In individuals with a history of PRT on TDF, 96 weeks of TAF was not associated with recurrent PRT or adverse effects on renal tubular function, bone turnover, or BMD. These data suggest that TAF is a treatment option for this vulnerable population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Entecavir (ETV) is recommended as a first-line anti-HBV treatment. However, many chronic hepatitis B patients initiate anti-HBV treatment such as lamivudine and telbivudine with low genetic barriers in China, which leads to compensatory mutations and increases the rate of ETV resistance. The management of ETV resistance in China is an essential clinical issue. METHODS Patients from 2011 to 2017 with nucleos(t)ide analog resistance were screened and 72 patients with ETV resistance were included. These patients received different rescue therapies including an ETV and adefovir (ADV) combination therapy group (n = 25), a tenofovir (TDF) monotherapy group (n = 27), and an ETV and TDF combination therapy group (n = 20). Virologic, biochemical, and serologic responses were compared among the three groups. RESULTS The rate of ETV resistance among all HBV-resistant variants increased from 6.04% in 2011 to 15.02% in 2017. TDF monotherapy and TDF combination groups showed similar rates of negative HBV DNA at 48 weeks (74.07% vs 70.00%, P > 0.05), while the ETV and ADV group showed the worst virologic response (28.00%). Also, TDF monotherapy and TDF combination therapy showed similar decline of HBV DNA at weeks 12, 24, and 48. There was no significant difference in the rates of HBeAg clearance, ALT normalization, and abnormal renal function among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS TDF monotherapy showed a comparable virologic response to TDF and ETV combination therapy and a better virologic response than ETV and ADV combination therapy. Thus, TDF monotherapy is the preferred rescue therapy for ETV resistance.

AIDS Res Ther 2021; 18:53. [PMID: 34419091 PMCID: PMC8379835 DOI: 10.1186/s12981-021-00380-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), a novel prodrug of tenofovir (TFV), has become the preferred drug for the treatment of HIV-1 and chronic hepatitis B infection in clinical practice. Results from clinical trials showed that it had better renal and bone mineral outcomes compared to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). However, as we have seen with TDF, side effects from the new medication can be more prevalent and recognized after extensive use in real world situations. Sporadic cases of acute kidney injury in patients using TAF have started to emerge. Case presentation We report a case of 49-year-old Thai, HIV treatment-experienced female with hypertension presented with worsening renal function after switching her antiretroviral regimen from TDF, emtricitabine (FTC), and lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) to TAF, FTC and dolutegravir (DTG) for 3 months. Kidney biopsy showed distinctive picture of tenofovir nephrotoxicity with acute tubular injury and mitochondrial injury. The possible causes of acute kidney injury and nephrotoxicity from TAF for this patient were discussed. We have extensively reviewed all published case reports of TAF-associated nephrotoxicity and summarized the essential information in this article. Conclusion Although TAF has less nephrotoxicity compared with TDF; renal function should always be monitored after the initiation of both drugs. Future large cohort studies are required to identify the risk factors of TAF-associated nephrotoxicity and to design an effective preventive strategy.

Abstract
Loss of normal kidney function affects more than 10% of the population and contributes to morbidity and mortality. Kidney diseases are currently treated with immunosuppressive agents, antihypertensives and diuretics with partial but limited success. Most kidney disease is characterized by breakdown of the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). Specialized podocyte cells maintain the GFB, and structure-function experiments and studies of intercellular communication between the podocytes and other GFB cells, combined with advances from genetics and genomics, have laid the groundwork for a new generation of therapies that directly intervene at the GFB. These include inhibitors of apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1), short transient receptor potential channels (TRPCs), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFLT1; also known as soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1), roundabout homologue 2 (ROBO2), endothelin receptor A, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor (suPAR) and substrate intermediates for coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). These molecular targets converge on two key components of GFB biology: mitochondrial function and the actin-myosin contractile machinery. This Review discusses therapies and developments focused on maintaining GFB integrity, and the emerging questions in this evolving field.

Prognostic model for nephrotoxicity among HIV-positive Zambian adults receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based antiretroviral therapy. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0252768.

Abstract
Persons living with HIV (PLWH) receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) risk suffering TDF-associated nephrotoxicity (TDFAN). TDFAN can result in short- and long-term morbidity, including permanent loss of kidney function, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring dialysis. Currently, there is no model to predict this risk or discern which patients to initiate TDF-based therapy. Consequently, some patients suffer TDFAN within the first few months of initiating therapy before switching to another suitable antiretroviral or a lower dose of TDF. In a prospective observational cohort study of adult Zambian PLWH, we modelled the risk for TDFAN before initiating therapy to identify individuals at high risk for experiencing AKI after initiating TDF-based therapy. We enrolled 205 HIV-positive, ART-naïve adults initiating TDF-based therapy followed for a median of 3.4 months for TDFAN at the Adult Infectious Disease Research Centre (AIDC) in Lusaka, Zambia. We defined TDFAN as meeting any of these acute kidney disease (AKD) criteria: 1) An episode of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)< 60ml/ min/1.73m2 within 3 months, 2) reduced eGFR by> 35% within 3 months or 3) increased serum creatinine by> 50% within 3 months. A total of 45 participants (22%) developed acute kidney disease (AKD) after TDF-based therapy. The development of AKD within the first 3 months of commencing TDF-based therapy was associated with an increase in baseline serum creatinine, age, baseline eGFR and female sex. We concluded that baseline characteristics and baseline renal function biomarkers predicted the risk for AKD within the first 3-months of TDF-based therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess associations between polymorphisms within genes encoding proximal tubule transporters implicated in tenofovir renal clearance and kidney tubular dysfunction (KTD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and individual biochemical parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included a cohort of HIV-positive Ghanaians receiving regimens containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (n = 66) for at least 6 months prior to study enrolment. SNPs in ABCC10, ABCC2 and ABCC4 were selected for analysis based on previous published associations. All SNPs were genotyped by real-time PCR allelic discrimination. Creatinine clearance (CLCR), serum and urine creatinine concentrations and biochemical measures of KTD were assessed. Statistical significance was determined through univariate linear or binary logistical regression (P ≤ 0.05). RESULTS None of the SNPs evaluated was associated with CKD or KTD. A trend between body weight and higher incidence of CKD (P = 0.012, OR = 0.9) was observed. ABCC10 2843T>C (rs2125739) was significantly associated with lower log10 baseline creatinine (P = 0.001, β= -0.4), higher baseline CLCR (P = 0.008, β = 65.2) and lower CLCR after 1 year (P = 0.024, β= -26.6). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates an association of ABCC10 rs2125739 with indicators of declining renal function and builds on current knowledge of this interaction within a Ghanaian cohort.

Abstract
The world is currently facing an unprecedented pandemic caused by a newly recognized and highly pathogenic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19; induced by SARS‐CoV‐2 virus), which is a severe and ongoing threat to global public health. Since COVID‐19 was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, several drug regimens have rapidly undergone clinical trials for the management of COVID‐19. However, one of the major issues is drug‐induced organ injury, which is a prominent clinical challenge. Unfortunately, most drugs used against COVID‐19 are associated with adverse effects in different organs, such as the kidney, heart, and liver. These side effects are dangerous and, in some cases, they can be lethal. More importantly, organ injury is also a clinical manifestation of COVID‐19 infection. These adverse reactions are increasingly recognized as outcomes of COVID‐19 infection. Therefore, the differential diagnosis of drug‐induced adverse effects from COVID‐19‐induced organ injury is a clinical complication. This review highlights the importance of drug‐induced organ injury, its known mechanisms, and the potential therapeutic strategies in COVID‐19 pharmacotherapy. We review the potential strategies for the differential diagnosis of drug‐induced organ injury. This information can facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies, not only against COVID‐19 but also for future outbreaks of other emerging infectious diseases. Adverse drug events are well‐known and common clinical problems in COVID‐19 patients. The differential diagnosis of adverse drug effects and disease‐induced organ injury is a clinical challenge. Obtaining a detailed history and biochemical analysis of blood‐based biomarkers from the patients as soon as they are admitted is critical for differential diagnosis of drug or disease‐induced organ injury.

Abstract
Lithium is abundantly administered against bipolar disorder. On the other hand, the lithium-induced renal injury is a clinical complication which commonly reveals as drug-induced diabetes insipidus. However, lithium-induced cytotoxicity might also play a role in the adverse effects of this drug on the kidney. There is no clear cellular and molecular mechanism(s) for lithium-induced nephrotoxicity. The current study was designed to assess the effect of lithium on kidney tissue oxidative stress biomarkers and mitochondrial function and its relevance to drug-induced nephrotoxicity and electrolyte imbalance. Rats were treated with lithium (lithium carbonate, 25 and 50 mg/kg/day, i.p., for 28 consecutive days). Kidney mitochondria were also isolated from rats and exposed to increasing concentrations of lithium (0.01-10 mM). Serum and urine biomarkers of kidney injury, kidney tissue markers of oxidative stress, and renal histopathological changes were assessed. Moreover, several mitochondrial indices were monitored. Lithium-induced renal injury revealed a significant increase in urine and serum biomarkers of renal impairment. Lithium caused an increase in the kidney reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and lipid peroxidation (LPO). Renal glutathione (GSH) reservoirs were also depleted, and tissue antioxidant capacity decreased in lithium-treated animals. Significant tissue histopathological changes, including necrosis, Bowman capsule dilation, and interstitial inflammation, were evident in lithium-treated animals. On the other hand, significant alterations in kidney mitochondrial function were detected in lithium-treated groups. These data mention oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular energy crisis as the potential primary mechanisms for lithium-induced renal injury.

Diverse Roles of Mitochondria in Renal Injury from Environmental Toxicants and Therapeutic Drugs. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22084172.

Abstract
Mitochondria are well-known to function as the primary sites of ATP synthesis in most mammalian cells, including the renal proximal tubule. Other functions have also been associated with different mitochondrial activities, including the regulation of redox status and the initiation of mitophagy and apoptosis. Mechanisms for the membrane transport of glutathione (GSH) and various GSH-derived metabolites across the mitochondrial inner membrane of renal proximal tubular cells are critical determinants of these functions and may serve as pharmacological targets for potential therapeutic approaches. Specific interactions of reactive intermediates, derived from drug metabolism, with molecular components in mitochondria have been identified as early steps in diverse forms of chemically-induced nephrotoxicity. Applying this key observation, we developed a novel hypothesis regarding the identification of early, sensitive, and specific biomarkers of exposure to nephrotoxicants. The underlying concept is that upon exposure to a diverse array of environmental contaminants, as well as therapeutic drugs whose efficacy is limited by nephrotoxicity, renal mitochondria will release both high- and low-molecular-weight components into the urine or the extracellular medium in an in vitro model. The detection of these components may then serve as indicators of exposure before irreversible renal injury has occurred.

Abstract
For the treatment of Covid‐19 patients with remdesivir, poor renal and liver function were both exclusion criteria in randomized clinical trials and contraindication for treatment. Also, nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity are reported as adverse events. We retrospectively reviewed renal and liver functions of Covid‐19 103 patients who received remdesivir in the 15 days after treatment initiation. Approximately 20% of the patient population met randomized clinical trial exclusion criteria. In total, 11% of the patients had a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate >10 mL/min/1.73m2. Also, 25 and 35% had increased alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels, respectively. However, serious adverse events were limited. Therefore, based on these preliminary results, contraindications based on kidney and liver function should not be absolute for remdesivir treatment in patients with Covid‐19 if these functions are monitored regularly. A larger patient cohort is warranted to confirm our results.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetics of drugs can be affected by physiologic changes during pregnancy. Our aim was to assess the influence of covariates on tenofovir (TFV) pharmacokinetics in pregnant and postpartum women receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Population pharmacokinetic parameter estimates and the influence of covariates were assessed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling (NONMEM 7.4). Forty-six women had intensive pharmacokinetic evaluations during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, with another evaluation postpartum. A two-compartment pharmacokinetic model with allometric scaling for body weight and first-order absorption best described the tenofovir plasma concentration data. Apparent oral clearance (CL/F) and volume of distribution at steady state (V ss/F) were increased during pregnancy. Weight, serum creatinine (SCr), pregnancy, albumin, and age were associated with TFV CL/F during univariate assessment, but in the multivariate analysis, changes in CL/F and V ss/F were only associated with increased body weight and enhanced renal function. Due to greater weight and lower SCr during pregnancy, CL/F was 28% higher during pregnancy than postpartum. In the final model, CL/F (liters per hour) was described as 2.07 × (SCr/0.6)0.65 × weight0.75, with a low between-subject variability (BSV) of 24%. The probability of target attainment (proportion exceeding area under the concentration-time curve of >1.99 μg·h/ml, the 10th percentile of average TFV exposure for nonpregnant historical controls) was 68%, 80%, 87%, and 93% above the target with 300 mg, 350 mg, 400 mg, and 450 mg of TDF, respectively, during pregnancy and 88%, 92%, 96%, and 98% above the target with same doses in postpartum women. Dose adjustment of TDF during pregnancy is not generally warranted, but any modification should be based on weight and renal function. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT00042289.).

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE The frequent tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are nephrotoxicity and bone toxicity; however, tooth-related ADRs of TDF have not been reported. We describe the case of a 41-year-old Han Chinese man with chronic hepatitis B with TDF-associated tooth loss. CASE SUMMARY He presented with halitosis, gingival swelling and tooth loss after TDF use. After excluding the possibility of other drug-related ADRs, TDF was considered a possible cause and switched with tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF). After 6 months, the oral symptoms disappeared, with no additional tooth loss. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION This is the first report of such ADRs. The ADR score was 7, indicating tooth loss as a potential TDF-related ADR.
