The relationship between corticosteroids and osteonecrosis is well known. Limited data suggest that statins modulate cholesterol metabolism and may protect against osteonecrosis. The authors analyzed their prospective renal transplant database to determine if statin usage reduces the incidence of corticosteroid-related osteonecrosis and identified 2,881 renal transplantation patients who met the entry criteria. Among 338 patients on statins, 15 (4.4%) developed osteonecrosis, versus 180 of 2,543 (7%) patients who were not on statins. Osteonecrosis-free survival was similar in patients with and without statin exposure.
皮质类固醇与骨坏死之间的关系已为人熟知。有限的数据表明,他汀类药物可调节胆固醇代谢,可能预防骨坏死。作者分析了他们的前瞻性肾移植数据库,以确定使用他汀类药物是否能降低皮质类固醇相关骨坏死的发生率,并确定了2881名符合入选标准的肾移植患者。在338名服用他汀类药物的患者中,15名(4.4%)发生了骨坏死,而在2543名未服用他汀类药物的患者中有180名(7%)发生了骨坏死。服用和未服用他汀类药物的患者无骨坏死生存率相似。
