What condition contraindicates the start of Genvoya for treatment?

CrCl > 50
CrCl < 30
CrCl > 70
No specific condition

The correct answer is: CrCl < 30

Genvoya is a medication used to treat HIV infection. CrCl stands for creatinine clearance, which is a measure of how well the kidneys are functioning. A low CrCl suggests that the kidneys are not working properly, which can affect the way the body processes and eliminates medications. In order to safely start treatment with Genvoya, the kidneys need to be functioning well in order to minimize potential side effects or complications. Therefore, a low CrCl (e.g. < 30) would indicate that a patient may not be a suitable candidate for starting Genvoya treatment. The other options (A, C, D) do not provide any specific indication about the function of the kidneys and do not necessarily contraindicate the use of Genvoya.
