Q.Which of the following test should be routinely performed
in the patients started on statins?
The correct answer is A. AST and ALT. Liver dysfunction is the most common adverse effect of statins. So, LFT should be regularly monitored in patients taking statins. Rhabdomyolysis and myositis are rare complications and CPK should be measured and monitored only if the patient develops symptoms.
