PG - 665-8 LID - 10.1007/s00223-014-9854-7 [doi] AB - In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) may cause hypophosphatemia leading to osteomalacia due to renal phosphate wasting. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) may play a role in this setting. We present an HIV-infected patient with TDF-induced profound hypophosphatemia, Fanconi syndrome, osteomalacia, and bilateral hip fracture. Routine serum biochemistry was assessed by standard methods. The plasma FGF23 concentration was measured at Mayo Laboratories (Scottsdale, AZ, USA). Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using a Hologic Discovery densitometer. At presentation, the patient's plasma C-terminal FGF23 was 2,760 reference units (RU)/mL (15 times upper limit of normal; reference interval [RI]
