Sammanfattning

Statins are a widely used group of drugs which can lower cholesterol levels. Recently, there has been emerging evi­dence that statins may decrease the formation of chole­s­terol gallstones and several studies have reported invert association between symptomatic cholesterol gallstones and statin use. Subsequent evidence for decrease in gal­l­stone-associated complications among statin users have not been clearly described. In this review we summarize current evidence for the association between statin use and the risk of gallstone associated complications.
