Abstract:
The effect of bezafibrate (200 mg t.i.d.) on renal and, to some degree, on muscular function was studied in nine patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia. No signs of a reduction in creatinine excretion or an increase in muscular proteins could be found serving as a possible explanation for the slight increase in serum creatinine observed in a bezafibrate long-term study in more than 1,000 patients. Further studies are necessary for clarification.
