Fanconi syndrome in a patient receiving pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV infection: case report
Douglas Drak, Jasper Lin, Andrew Gowers, David M. Gracey This is the first reported case of Fanconi syndrome in a patient receiving HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in Australia. This case highlights the potential for significant kidney injury with PrEP use, but also demonstrates how such injuries can be reversed on prompt discontinuation of PrEP. Regular monitoring of kidney function, particularly for older patients or those with pre-existing kidney disease, is therefore essential.
