Patients who received CYP3A4-metabolized statins had significantly higher risk of acute kidney injury (adjusted OR = 2.12; 95% CI = 1.35–3.35), hyperkalemia (adjusted OR = 2.94; 95% CI = 1.36–6.35), acute myocardial infarction (adjusted OR = 1.55; 95% CI = 1.16–2.07), and acute ischemic stroke (adjusted OR = 1.35; 95% CI = 1.08–1.68) than those who received non-CYP3A4-metabolized statins. Here, CYP3A4 is linked to acute kidney injury.
