However, other antiretroviral drugs (such as atazanavir [ATV], especially when boosted by ritonavir, ATV/r) could perpetuate some degrees of renal impairment with or without TDF co-administration. Also, possible benefits of stopping TDF in patients without renal diseases is not well known. This study aimed at exploring evolution of renal function and lipid profile after switching from tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) to abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC), maintaining the ATV/r component of the regimen %K Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy %K eGFR %K Cholesterol %K Nephrotoxicity %K Tenofovir %K Atazanavir %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4968049/
