Study Findings on Nephropathy Detailed by Researchers at Suzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (Efficacy of atorvastatin on renal function in patients with contrast-induced nephropathy after percutaneous...).

Researchers at the Suzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine conducted a study on the efficacy of atorvastatin in patients with contrast-induced nephropathy after percutaneous coronary intervention. The study involved 100 elderly patients with coronary heart disease, comparing the effects of high-dose atorvastatin to conventional doses on renal function indicators and inflammatory markers. The research concluded that high-dose atorvastatin can effectively prevent renal function damage, decrease inflammation and oxidative stress, and maintain a high level of safety in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.
