 I am not sure what the normal level is for the lipase at your clinic. In the setting of GI complaints on ddI/d4T I would worry about pancreatitis or hepatic (Liver) irritation. Lactic acidosis would also be a concern. Repeating the lab tests and checking liver, electrolytes, and possible a lactic acid often is useful. Best of all is a careful discussion /exam with your HIV doc. KH | ||||||||
