Hello,
Your doctor would be advising you to maintain the low level of LDL at 50 because you may at a very high risk of heart attack, stroke or other vascular problems. Lipitor can produce liver inflammation in a small percentage of people on it. It can be detected by a simple blood test and your doctor would have done to ensure your safety.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
