ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fluvastatin vs. Xuezhikang for hyperlipidemia in patients after renal transplantation.METHODS:
56 hyperlipidemia patients after renal transplantation were enrolled 32 were assigned to receive Fluvastatin (40~80 mg) po qd for 8 weeks and 24 to receive Xuezhikang (0.6 g) po bid for 8 weeks. Total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL),high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL),liver function and renal function in two groups were measured before and after treatment.RESULTS:
In Fluvastatin-treated group,the TC decreased from(7.39?1.98)mmol?L-1 to(5.62?0.93)mmol?L-1,LDL reduced from(3.68?1.13)mmol?L-1 to (2.86?0.83)mmol?L-1;in Xuezhikang-treated group,TC decreased from(6.82?1.29)mmol?L-1 to (5.56?1.19) mmol?L-1 and LDL decreased from (3.26?0.73) mmol?L-1 to (2.78?0.80) mmol?L-1,all showing significant differences as compared with before treatment(P 0.05). No obvious adverse effect was noted in either group during treatment.CONCLUSION:
Both Fluvastatin and Xuezhikang are safe and effective for hyperlipidemia in patients after renal transplantation.
