| Response from Dr. Henry
 HIV infection generally has no direct effect on most of those blood chemistry parameters but can indirectly impact them if their is liver (ALT. AST), kidney (Cr, urea, potassium)) or metabolic (glucose) if a patient develops AIDS-related disease processes or side effects from treatment. The one exception is total protein levels which are usually elevated in HIV infection (most often due to elevated gamma globulin levels). KH | |||||||||
