nephrotoxicity inclination, sinde Viread , which is
tenofovir disoproxil fumarate ( TDF), falls apart rapidly in plasma, producing pure tenofovir, that goes to the kidney and is picked up there.
Nevertheless, while still intact, enough TDF enters the liver cells, where is it finally converted in several steps to tenofovir diphosphate, which is the actual substance that inhibits the viral polymerase.
