Tenofovir is a nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor approved for the treatment of HIV and hepatitis B infections. It is widely prescribed and an integral part of the recommended regimens for the treatment of HIV infection in antiretroviral-naive patients. Tenofovir is implicated in renal proximal tubular dysfunction, which can be associated with Fanconi syndrome and hypokalemia. When the hypokalemia is severe, it can lead to life-threatening complications. We describe the case of a 59-year-old woman who suffered a cardiac arrest secondary to severe hypokalemia from tenofovir use.
替诺福韦是一种核苷酸类似物逆转录酶抑制剂,被批准用于治疗HIV感染和乙型肝炎感染。它被广泛处方,是初治抗逆转录病毒患者治疗HIV感染推荐方案中不可或缺的一部分。替诺福韦与近端肾小管功能障碍有关,这可能与范科尼综合征和低钾血症相关。当低钾血症严重时,可导致危及生命的并发症。我们描述了一名59岁女性的病例,她因使用替诺福韦导致严重低钾血症继发心脏骤停。
