Utility of urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein as a predictor of renal dysfunction in Japanese patients with HIV receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with low urinary β2 microglobulin levels: a retrospective observational study

Abstract Background Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is known to reduce estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). It is clinically important to identify patients at high risk for renal dysfunction as early as possible. Among the tubular markers, urinary β2 microglobulin (Uβ2MG) is a well-known...
