Question: How Does Crestor Cause Harm?
Answer: For reasons not clearly understood, Crestor can cause tissue in the skeletal muscles (these are the large muscles in the arms, legs and back) to begin to decay, to die. This is a very serious health condition all by itself, because you actually loose muscle mass as the muscle fibers degenerate; but you don’t just lose strength and muscle mass. As the muscle cells die, they enter the blood stream and are carried to the kidneys. As the kidneys struggle to filter out this debris, too much protein (dead cells) can enter the urine and cause myoglobinuria. Before long the abundance of dead muscle cells can shut down the filtering mechanism in the kidneys. Very quickly the kidneys can become very inefficient, and this can soon lead to kidney failure. Once it gets started, this combination of events is extremely serious, and life threatening.
