Cohen, M.D Most individuals who have had kidney transplants are placed on statin drugs to protect the transplanted kidney, Jason. Lipitor is commonly prescribed to those individuals whether they have high cholesterol or not. If Lipitor helps me retain my kidney transplant and keeps my serum creatinine at 1.0 I could care less what Jay Cohen has to say about them. Larry

Hell must be freezing over because I agree with about .1% of what JJ wrote ... in some PRE-dialysis patients with hypOtension and reduced GFR, there is a higher risk of rhabdo. Of course, this is not *all* patients with kidney disease/failure, and doesn't apply to tx patients, or, of course, patients with imaginary kidney disease (the kind I wish I had). Naturally, anyone with real kidney disease would do best to follow the advice of their nephrologist (not directed at you, Larry!). -- "Did Father shoot him?
