| Response from Dr. Henry
 You may need to be evaluated for a kidney stone (atazanvir can cause kidney stones), a urinary tract infection (with culture), and overall kidney function (including protein and determining 24 hour creatinine clearance). The switch to Combivir may not be needed depending on the ultimate diagnosis-would discuss with your HIV doctor. KH | ||||||||
