This report suggests the possibility of severe tenofovir-induced nephrotoxicity with combined acute kidney injury, Fanconi syndrome, and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in the absence of other provoking factors such as use with protease inhibitors or advanced HIV disease, chronic kidney disease, and age. With its wide use in Botswana and other countries, health-care providers should have a high index of suspicion for tenofovir-induced nephrotoxicity for HIV patients on tenofovir with deranged renal function tests and electrolytes.
