A member asked:
Severe familial hyperlipidemia. crestor 20 mg and 10 mg caused significant liver enzyme elevation. doctor wants to try pravastain 40 mg. will this help and have a lesser chance of damage to liver? will it reduce inflammation markers like crestor ?

The preferred treatment for this is to use a device that removes lipids (lipohoresis) from your blood. Ask about it and try to get seen in a lipid clinic in one of the medical schools near you.
