Just wondering if anyone had any adverse effects from taking statins.

I’m no doctor but I believe they are looking for statin effects on liver not on the kidneys. Are you taking ibuprofen? People don’t realize that OTC meds such as Tylenol are known to cause liver problems when taken in high doses and ibuprofen is known for kidney issues. Also look for OTC meds that contain acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen that you may not realize is in the product.
