Re: Tenefovir and Kidney Disease

[Guest guest]

I;ve been reading these posts.. Might it now be time to drop atripla and switch to some other leading regimen without the tenofovir? Or would checking the lab levels that show the problem, be enough to prevent problems?

Its not a matter of doubting. Its already well known that there is a risk to

the kidneys with tenofovir and anybody on it needs to be monitored very closely

for kidney function. This is not something to play with, requires commitment on

the part of the patient and the doctor to make sure those tests are done

routinely and if they are abnormal action should be taken.
