Abstract 246: Single Center Study of Statin Use Among Renal Transplant Recipients [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusion: In this high risk cohort, a significant proportion of patients who were statin eligible including diabetics, were not prescribed statin. Less than half of renal transplant recipients had a lipid panel documented pre and post- transplant. Patterns of use of cardioprotective medications in the renal transplant population, and its relation to renal and cardiac outcomes needs further study.
