What is your approach to determining if a patient treated with vancomycin has ATN related to vancomycin or the underlying infection?

For the most part, I would assume it is the underlying infection. Very high vancomycin levels and its combined use with Zosyn make me wonder about vancomycin toxicity, especially if the infection has been well treated.
