Key Research Findings
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been a widely used drug for HIV treatment, but it has been reported to have side effects such as kidney problems and decreased bone density. Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a newer formulation of TDF that is expected to reduce the risk of these side effects. 28 , 17 , 12
Several studies have shown that TAF has less impact on the kidneys and bones compared to TDF, while maintaining similar antiviral efficacy. 27 , 20 , 26 , 19 , 24 , 16 , 14 , 18
On the other hand, TAF has been reported to have a higher risk of weight gain compared to TDF. 7
Reasons for Side Effects
The reason why TAF has less impact on the kidneys and bones compared to TDF is thought to be because TAF is effective at lower doses than TDF. 27 , 17
The reason why TAF has a higher risk of weight gain is not fully understood, but it is thought to be due to mitochondrial toxicity or effects on appetite. 7
Common Side Effects
Kidney Effects
TDF has been a concern for kidney effects, but TAF is considered to be a safer drug with less impact on the kidneys compared to TDF. 27 , 17 , 23 , 14 , 25 , 11 , 4 , 1
Decreased Bone Density
TDF has been a concern for decreased bone density, but TAF is thought to reduce the risk of decreased bone density compared to TDF. 27 , 23 , 17 , 14 , 12 , 1
Weight Gain
TAF has been reported to have a higher risk of weight gain compared to TDF. 7
Other Side Effects
TAF has been reported to have other side effects compared to TDF. 23 , 15 , 2
Countermeasures for Side Effects
Kidney Effects
Regular blood tests to monitor kidney function are important to prevent kidney problems. 14 , 10
Decreased Bone Density
It is important to take calcium and vitamin D to prevent decreased bone density. 14
Weight Gain
It is important to follow a diet and exercise program to prevent weight gain. 7
Comparison Between Studies
Commonalities Among Studies
Many studies have shown that TAF has less impact on the kidneys and bones compared to TDF. 28 , 27 , 17 , 23 , 14 , 12
Differences Between Studies
Some studies have shown that TAF has a higher risk of weight gain compared to TDF. 7
Points to Note for Real-World Applications
TAF is expected to have less impact on the kidneys and bones compared to TDF, but it has also been reported to have a higher risk of weight gain. 28 , 27 , 17 , 23 , 14 , 12 , 7
Therefore, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions and have regular blood tests when taking TAF. 14 , 10
Limitations of Current Research
Research on TAF is still limited, and the long-term safety is not fully understood. 22 , 17
Future Research Directions
Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of TAF. 22
Conclusion
TAF is expected to have less impact on the kidneys and bones compared to TDF, but it has also been reported to have a higher risk of weight gain. 28 , 27 , 17 , 23 , 14 , 12 , 7
It is important to follow your doctor's instructions and have regular blood tests when taking TAF. 14 , 10
Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of TAF. 22
