Abstract
The effects of pravastatin on plasma lipid levels, in vitro oxidizability of the non-HDL fraction, metabolic control, urinary albumin excretion, and four serum enzymes (SGPT, SGOT, GT and CPK) were studied in 20 insulin-dependent diabetic patients (IDDM) with incipient nephropathy. The patients were divided into two groups and the study was carried out by a crossover design. After 12 weeks pravastatin treatment (20 mg daily), plasma cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B (Apo B) decreased by 22, 19 and 15%, respectively. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) formation and the oxidation lagtime of the non-HDL fraction during the in vitro incubation with copper were not changed before and after treatment. The HbA1c and blood glucose levels, urinary albumin excretion, SGOT, SGPT and GT were not influenced by pravastatin treatment. CPK activity was elevated after 12 weeks of pravastatin treatment, and this elevation persisted even after the 12 weeks placebo period. So, pravastatin could be used as an effective drug for IDDM patients with incipient nephropathy, but close monitoring of the CPK activity is recommended.
