Will Taking Statin Bring Creatine And Liver Enzymes To Normal Levels?
I have a slightly high creatine level and my liver enzymes are slightly high - I have been on blood pressure medicine and synthroid for years - my doctor says that if I take a statin that will definitely make my creatine level go back to normal as well as my liver enzymes.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Taking statins will bring down cholesterol levels in blood and keeps a control on that by maintaining it.
It has no effect on bringing creatine (must be creatinine, which you are refering so) or liver enzymes back to normal.
Increased creatinine level is an indication of kidney dysfunction.
Liver enzyme increase is as a result of liver dysfunction.
The causes need to be evaluated and treated.
Kindly take an opinion from Physician in this regard.
Have a good health.
