Tenofovir may be associated with nephrotoxicity. Several studies have shown that an early increase in urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) may predict the occurrence of acute kidney injury. We investigated urine and plasma NGAL in patients on long-term treatment with nevirapine associated with either tenofovir/emtricitabine or abacavir/lamivudine.
