duovir and efavirenz Aug 23, 2009 I am a male 45 years old, HIV positive, 3 years diagnosed, 8 month on a treatment of DUOVIR and EFAVIRENZ, responding well to it but urinating kind of white bubbles, made a test of PROTEINURIA twice, first 6 month ago with results of 550 and second 1 month ago with results of 220, white bubbles on my urine still the same...would there be anything wrong with my kidneys because of the treatment? I am from Peru, excuse my english and thank you very much for your answer. |

 Duovir (AZT and 3TC) is usually kidney friendly as is efavirenz. HIV can cause kidney damage as can diabetes, high blood pressure, and numerous other non-HIV related conditions. A history and physical examination is recommended as a few step in the evaluation of your kidney status. KH | |||||||||
