Potential Benefits of Switching Liver Transplant Recipients to Tenofovir Alafenamide Prophylaxis. Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association Sripongpun, P. n., Mannalithara, A. n., Kwo, P. Y., Kim, W. R. 2019

Abstract

Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is the latest agent approved for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatment. In its registrations trials, TAF demonstrated better renal safety and improvement in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities compared with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF).1-3 However, data are scarce regarding these outcomes in liver transplantation (LTx) recipients.4 In this study, we determine effects of switching from other antivirals to TAF on ALT and renal function in LTx recipients.
