Nephrotoxicity: Post-marketing cases of renal impairment, including acute renal failure and proximal renal tubulopathy (PRT) reported with TAF-containing products. A potential risk of nephrotoxicity resulting from chronic exposure low tenofovir exposure with TAF cannot be excluded. It is recommended that renal function is assessed prior to, or when initiating, TAF and is monitored during therapy in all patients as clinically appropriate. If clinically significant decreases in renal function, or evidence of PRT occur, consider discontinuation of TAF.
