TDF pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, activity in respect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) multi-drug-resistant mutations, efficacy in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients, and side effects are described. The most predictive response factors to TDF therapy are discussed and all available combination therapies to optimize clinical outcome in the various patient profiles are analyzed, such as compensated and/or decompensated cirrhotic patients. The use of TDF in pregnancy, and prophylaxis after exposure to HBV and post-liver transplantation are also evaluated.Keywords: HBV, chronic hepatitis B, tenofovir, antiviral therapy | ||
