In the current study, we examined the effects of gemfibrozil, a lipid-lowering drug, on the progression of renal injury in SS LepR mutant rats during the progression of renal injury
Monitor carefully; 10 : Initially 900 mg daily

Treatment with gemfibrozil significantly reduced glomerular injury and lipid accumulation and improved renal function
If you are 65 or older, use gemfibrozil
Gemfibrozil is also used in people with a combination of low high-density lipoprotein (HDL; 'good cholesterol') levels and high low-density lipoprotein (LDL; 'bad cholesterol') and triglyceride levels to reduce the risk of heart disease

Objective: To describe a case of gemfibrozil monotherapy-induced myositis in a patient with normal renal function Case summary: A 68-year-old white man presented to his primary care clinic complaining of a 6-month history of total body pain
Kidney Function-There have been reports of worsening renal insufficiency upon the addition of gemfibrozil therapy in individuals with baseline plasma creatinine >2
Effect of gemfibrozil on change in renal function in men with moderate chronic renal insufficiency and coronary disease
18,23 Tests for interaction between these characteristics and the effect of gemfibrozil use on the dependent variable were performed by inserting a cross-product term in the model
The primary end points were major adverse cardiac events, which included cardiac death, nonfatal MI, or coronary Gemfibrozil, USP is a lipid regulating agent
In such patients, the use shortness of breath

Fibrates, especially gemfibrozil, are associated with an increased risk of cholecystitis and cholelithiasis due to their ability to increase the cholesterol saturation in bile
[2] It is unclear if it changes the risk of heart disease
More than 20 million Americans are affected, with approximately 500,000 of them being diagnosed with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) []
Gemfibrozil has proved to be unsafe for this interaction, whereas clinicians can Gemfibrozil is highly protein bound (>95%) and is biotransformed to 4 main metabolites
Reports of fenofibrate-associated increases in serum creatinine (SCr) levels raised concerns regarding deleterious effects on renal function
Reduced dosages and close clinical monitoring are recommended
