Effects of statin treatment with atorvastatin on urolithiasis-associated urinary metabolic risk factors: an experimental study

ConclusionsOur study revealed that atorvastatin has decreasing effect on UUa levels, whereas increasing effect on UCa levels. We think it cannot certainly be deduced that atorvastatin could be beneficial on overall urinary metabolic risk factors. Contrarily, atorvastatin may lead to an increased risk of calcium stones, but when considering its UUa decreasing effect, it may help in reducing the uric acid stone recurrence.
