Effect of Statins in Patients With Hemodialysis‐Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease: A Nationwide Cohort Study

Statin use was consistently associated with improved long-term cardiovascular outcomes in patients with hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease, regardless of prior statin use. These findings suggest that continuing statin therapy is crucial for cardiovascular prevention in patients already receiving statins before hemodialysis initiation; initiating statin therapy may also provide clinical benefits in statin-naïve patients undergoing hemodialysis.
