Suppression of progression of renal dysfunction and cerebrovascular events: potentials of atorvastatin
The article discusses the pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of renal dysfunction in hyperlipidemia. The data on the study of the role of statins, in particular atorvastatin, in the progression of nephrocerebral interrelations are presented. The results of a number of studies demonstrating the nephro- and cerebroprotective properties of atorvastatin have been analyzed.
