Is statin therapy protective against arteriovenous fistulas failure?

Takeaway
  • This meta-analysis shows no evidence that statin therapy could reduce the arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) failure in haemodialysis (HD) patients.
Why this matters

  • Statins are the most commonly prescribed lipid-lowering agents and studies have suggested that they could improve the vascular function of AVFs.
