(Aksaray Üniversitesi, 2021) Karadeniz, Bilge; Kaşkal, Mert
It is well known that statin usage is linked with side effects such as miyalgias, hepatic enzyme elevation and rabdomyolisis. Pancreatic injury and lipase elevation may be a rare side effect of statins. In this case report, we present a 61-year-old male with the history of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and prostate cancer which experienced elevation of lipase levels after use of statins. We tried different types of statins for the patients condition of pancreatic injury and in this case report, the possible reasons of statin induced pancreatic injury are underlined.
