Fenofibrate delays need for dialysis, cuts CV risk in advanced CKD

26 May 2021

Use of fenofibrate provides cardiovascular (CV) benefits similar to that of statins and may even delay the need for permanent dialysis in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), a study has shown. Moreover, the combination of fenofibrate and high-intensity statins may deliver additional benefits.
