Kidney transplantation and statins effects on dyslipidemia in kidney transplant recipients
In conclusion, KTx was associated with improved HDL levels despite adverse effects on weight and HbA1c levels. The addition of statins to the treatment regimen not only maintained the positive effects of KTx on HDL and TG but also protected against increases in TC and LDL levels. These findings emphasize the potential benefits of KTx on HDL and TG levels in KTRs who received a tacrolimus-based immunosuppression protocol. Statin therapy modulates the LDL and TC increase seen post KTx.
