HIV-infected patients are now treated with combined antiretroviral therapy (CART). Many drugs and/or metabolites are excreted by the kidneys. Furthermore, HIV-infected patients have a high prevalence of pre-existing nephropathies, which may or may not be related to HIV [1].
The nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor tenofovir induces tubulopathies and renal insufficiency [2–4]. Nucleoside analogs essentially have mitochondrial toxicity. Nephrotoxicity of these nucleoside analogs is rare. Indeed, didanosine has a good kidney safety profile and only two cases of severe tubular toxicity have been reported [5,6]. Various authors have raised questions about the cumulative nephrotoxicity of didanosine and tenofovir and their respective roles, as their association leads to unexpected side effects in the kidney [7].
Here, we report a case of Fanconi syndrome and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in an HIV-infected patient receiving a CART regimen including didanosine. We also review the cases
