Observation of ezetimibe combined with atorvastatin calcium therapy in peritoneal dialysis patients with hypercholesterolemia by CHEN Wen-li, XU Li, MAO Hui-hui, LI Yong-xia

“…Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of ezetimibe combined with atorvastatin calcium therapy in peritoneal dialysis patients with hypercholesterolemia.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 34 peritoneal dialysis patients with hypercholesterolemia.All patients were subjected to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD),and administered orally ezetimibe(10 mg/day) plus atorvastatin calcium(10 mg/day)for 12 weeks.Blood lipids,liver function,creatine phosphokinase(CPK) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) levels were measured before and after the treatment by statistical analysis.Results(1) Twenty-one out of 34 cases presented with hyperlipidemia(61.8%) before peritoneal dialysis,among them,there were 6 cases of hypercholesterolemia(17.6%),5 cases of hypertriglyceridemia(14.7%),and 10 cases of combined hyperlipidemia(29.4%).Besides,the incidence of hyperlipidemia was higher in the patients with diabetic nephropathy(14 cases,41.2%);(2) After combined treatment for 12 weeks,the serum total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-sensitivity CRP were reduced significantly as compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),alanine transaminase(ALT),aspartate transaminase(AST) and CPK before and after treatment(P>0.05);(3)Before and after treatment,blood urine nitrogen(BUN),creatinine(Cr),urine output,peritoneal ultrafiltration and home blood pressure in 34 patients were observed.It was found that there was significant difference in the above indexes before and after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusions Ezetimibe combined with atorvastatin calcium can effectively reduce the cholesterol level of peritoneal dialysis patients with hypercholesterolemia,and can bring down the high-sensitivity CRP levels.At the same time,this treatment shows no obvious impact on the peritoneal dialysis and blood pressure,suggesting its good security.…”
