Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) on renal function in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 patients with chronic hepatitis B at University Medical Center HCMC from May 2017 to October 2020. Results: The mean age of patients was 42.10 ± 13.30; 39/60 (65%) of patients were male. The mean creatinine level significantly increased at 24th   and 48th week of treatment (p < 0.01), while eGFR level significantly decreased at 24th and 48th week (p<0.05). Conclusion: Renal function was decreased relative to baseline in chronic hepatitis B patients receiving TDF therapy, which indicates that the renal function should be monitored regularly in patients undergoing treatment with TDF.
