Dear all,
BNF gives previous liver disease/excess alcohol consumption as a
contra-indication to statin therapy and that it should be dicontinued if
"..serum transaminase concentration (!!) rises to, and persists at, 3 times
the upper limit of the reference range". I presume therefore that mildly
elevated GGT's may also be seen, but at what frequency and does this presage
hepatitis ? Anyone looked at this? Thanks,
Philip Hyde,
Boston
