Statins
Around 10% of people in the UK have this (for information on CKD see www.kidneycareuk.org).
Overwhelmingly more and more evidence has shown that Statins can slow the progression of kidney disease as well as prevent heart attacks and strokes.
NICE are therefore suggesting that all patients should take a Statin unless contraindicated with other medication or conditions.
Statins are one of the most investigated drugs and have been proven to be effective, well tolerated and safe!
