The larger question is, our hepa said nephrotoxicity has been shown with Viread, not Baraclude. I believe the doc was referring specifically to the
Fanconi syndrome, which affects renal tubules: my aunt regularly shows high Chloride, low Carbon Dioxide, low Potassium, and low Phosphorus. And she's leaking protein, glucose and WBC esterase in her urine.
How about reducing Baraclude to 0.5mg every other day, since she only weighs 85 lbs. (39kg)? I know that some people take 1.
