Experimental and clinical studies have suggested a correlation between the progression of renal disease and dyslipidemia. Indeed, apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins have been demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for the progression of renal disease in humans. Interventional strategies in experimental models of renal disease have clearly demonstrated a beneficial effect on renal structure and function in a variety of models of renal disease. Investigations into the mechanisms whereby reduction of lipids by lipid-lowering agents benefits renal disease have suggested that the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme reductase inhibitors, the so-called statin class of lipid-lowering agents, may have additional effects on the biology of inflammation that are germane to the progression of renal disease.
