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.
