Table 2.

Adverse effect of antiretroviral therapy regimens drugs on organ/tissues of patients.

Adverse Reactions Common antiretroviral therapy regimens drugs
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs) Protease inhibitors (PIs) Integrase Inhibitor (INIs)
Cardiovascular disease ABC: Some cohort studies have been associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction, with the absolute risk being greatest in patients with traditional cardiovascular risk factors DRV and LPV/r: Some cohort studies have shown an association with cardiovascular events
Cardiac conduction disorder RPV, EFV: Prolonged cardiac QT interval ATV/r, LPV/r: Prolonged cardiac PR interval
Hepatotoxicity AZT: Hepatic steatosis EFV and NVP: Not recommended for patients with liver insufficiency All PIs drugs: Drug-induced hepatitis and hepatic decompensation have been reported BIC/FTC/TAF and EVG/C/TAF/FTC are not recommended for patients with severe liver function damage
Nephrotoxicity / urolithiasis TDF: Elevated serum creatinine, proteinuria, hypophosphatemia, urinary phosphate loss, diabetes, hypokalemia and non-anionic interstitial metabolic acidosis. RPV: Inhibit urinary creatinine secretion but does not decrease glomerular function ATV, LPV/r: Large cohort studies have shown an increased risk of chronic kidney disease BIC/FTC/TAF and EVG/C/TAF/FTC are Inhibit urinary creatinine secretion without reducing glomerular function; For patients with CrCI estimates <30 mL/min, should not be used
Hypersensitivity reaction ABC:It is forbidden for HLA-B*5701 positive patients. If ABC allergic reaction is suspected, no matter HLA-B*5701 status, should stop using NVP: Women are at higher risk than men RAL:Allergic reactions have been reported with RAL in combination with other drugs known to cause allergic reactions; DTG: It is reported in <1% of patients in clinical development projects
Myelosuppression AZT: Anemia, neutropenia
Allergic reaction NVP > EFV, ETR, RPV: Steven-Johnson syndrome DRV,ATV/r,LPV/r RAL: Steven-Johnson syndrome
Myopathy/ Elevated creatine phosphokinase AZT: Myopathy RAL and DTG: Creatine phosphokinase is elevated, and rhabdomyolysis and myopathy or myositis have been reported.
Bone density (BMD) TDF: BMD loss was more serious than other NRTIs, and it was more significant when combined with synergist. Osteomalacia may be associated with renal tubulopathy and urinary phosphate loss

Abbreviation of antiretroviral therapy regimen:nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NNRTIs), protease inhibitors(PIs), integrase strand transfer inhibitors(INSTIs), Abacavir (ABC), Darunavir, (DRV), Lopinave/litonawe (LPV/r), Rilpivrine (RPV), Efavirenz (EFV), Atazanavir (ATV/r), Biketarvy(BIC/FTC/TAF), Genvoya (EVG/C/TAF/FTC), Zidovudine (AZT), Nevirapine (NVP), Dolutegravir (DTG), Bictegravir (BIC), Raltegravir (RAL), Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF).
