Participants | 10 men and women with nephrotic syndrome and hypercholesterolaemia TC > 240 mg/dL (6.21 mmol/L) LDL‐C > 160 mg/dL (4.14 mmol/L) exclusion criteria: liver disease, participants, 18 years, pregnancy potential Fluvastatin 20 twice daily baseline TC : 9.982 mmol/L (386 mg/dL) Fluvastatin 20 twice daily baseline LDL‐C : 6.025 mmol/L (233 mg/dL) Fluvastatin 20 twice daily baseline HDL‐C : 1.32 mmol/L (51 mg/dL) Fluvastatin 20 twice daily baseline triglycerides: 5.837 mmol/L (517 mg/dL) |
|
Interventions | Fluvastatin 20 twice daily | |
Outcomes | per cent change from baseline at 4‐12 weeks of serum TC, LDL‐C, HDL‐C, and triglycerides | |

Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | High risk | Controlled before and after design |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | High risk | Controlled before and after design |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Lipid parameter measurements unlikely influenced by lack of blinding |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) LDL‐cholesterol | Low risk | Lipid parameters were measured in a remote laboratory |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) WDAEs | High risk | No comparison possible |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | All participants were included in the efficacy analysis |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | LDL‐C outcome was reported |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Source of funding not reported |
