Statins to lower cholesterol for people with CKD

Hi,

My GP pharmacist contacted me yesterday to say that at 4.9 the surgery believes my cholesterol levels are too high for someone with CKD. I have been advised to start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once a day.

I said I would ask the team at Guy's as they have specialist knowledge and monitor and manage my condition.

I would appreciate your thoughts, please.

Many thanks,

Brendan
