| Abstract |
Tenofovir, one of antiretroviral medication to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, is known to cause proximal renal tubular acidosis such as Fanconi syndrome, but cases of distal renal tubular acidosis had never been reported. A 20-year-old man with HIV infection developed nausea and vomiting without diarrhea after starting antiretroviral therapy. Arterial blood gas revealed non-anion-gap metabolic acidosis and urine test showed positive urine anion gap. Tenofovir, one of antiretroviral medicine the patient received, was considered to be the cause of this acidosis and all antiretroviral drugs were discontinued. Symptoms disappeared promptly without recurrence of symptoms after resuming antiretroviral medications without tenofovir. Distal renal tubular acidosis caused by tenofovir, without renal impairment is very rare. Since causes of nausea and vomiting among HIV/AIDS patients are very diverse, awareness of this phenomenon is useful in diagnosing and managing the problem. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 September 2020.
All research outputs
#6,320,770
of 23,509,253 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology
#111
of 454 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#112,773
of 418,287 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology
#4
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,509,253 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 454 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 418,287 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
