Abstract

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether statins can increase C-reactive protein in patients with normocholesterolemia. Methods The changes of CRP, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol were observed. The relation of CRP and TC were analyed in 60 patients with coronay artery disease. Results CRP, LDL TC, TG were decreased, and HDL was inreased after treatment. Conclusion Statins not only can adjust lipid metabolism disturbance, but also have anti-inflammatory effects.
