Abstract	Numerous trials have shown that chronic kidney disease increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemias have been shown to accelerate progression of kidney disease. Statins have assumed a pivotal role in management of hyperlipidemia. However their effect on renal function is still not fully understood. Some clinical trials have shown some renoprotective effect of statins but there is still need for more data to clarify effects of statins on renal function. *Corresponding author: Tejas Desai, Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, East Carolina UniversityBrody School of Medicine, 2355 West Arlington Blvd, Greenville, USA, Tel: 252-744-1380; E-mail: desait@ecu.edu Received August 13, 2011; Accepted October 05, 2011; Published October 13, 2011 Citation: Mehra S, Desai T (2011) Statins in Chronic Kidney DiseaseAre Statins Really Renoprotective.
