Homonculus,
As one is also now CKD 2 (due to guess what), then I re-iterate, that the comments from a medical professional in a public forum regarding renal failure due to statins, appears to me, a little bit flippant, even if it endorsed by someone else on the thread - bit of a weak answer really. It also implies that you dispense statins, but don't share with your patients the bit about potential renal failure (conflict of interest ?).
I really do believe you have the patients best interest at heart, but do be mindful of your audience when you dispense your wisdom on these forums.
