Text: Fluvastatin treatment in ALERT had no significant effect compared with placebo on renal function, assessed by serum creatinine (overall adjusted mean + / - SEM : fluvastatin, 175. 4 + / - 2. 20 micromol/L ; placebo, 172. 7 + / - 2. 20 micromol/L ; p = 0. 39), creatinine clearance (fluvastatin, 55. 3 + / - 0. 30 mL/min ; placebo, 55. 8 + / - 0. 30 mL/min ; p = 0. 26) or proteinuria (fluvastatin, 0. 58 + / - 0. 03 g/24 h ; placebo, 0. 53 + / - 0. 03 g/24 h ; p = 0. 31).
