This study focused on change of haemoglobin level due toTenofovir given as a first line anti retroviral therapy in HIV infected patient.&#13;
Aims of the Study: To show the change of haemoglobin level due to tenofovir in tenofovir based first line anti retroviral therapy in HIV infected patient.&#13;
Materials __ampersandsignamp; Methods: We studied descriptive __ampersandsignamp; longitudinal study in Art center in Murshidabad medical College __ampersandsignamp; hospital, west Bengal, July 2014 to June 2015.Our study included 107 HIV infected patient (aged 18 years and above) attending Art center, Murshidabad medical College __ampersandsignamp; Hospital who will be started on Tenofovir based 1st line Art (according to NACO guideline) except Pregnant women, patients with serum creatinine __ampersandsigngt;1.2mg/dl __ampersandsignamp; unwilling for consent.&#13;
Discussion: During this period 10 of them left the study due to lack of follow up. The study population had overall weight gained __ampersandsignamp; increased by haemoglobin at the end of the study.&#13;
Results: This study shows that tenofovir is well tolerable drug. Tenofovir therapy is associated with mean weight gain and increase in haemoglobin level.&#13;
Conclusion: Tenofovir therapy is associated with mean weight gain and increase in haemoglobin level.&#13;
