My mother was on Lipitor and had kidney failure after flu like symptoms. I am positive it is from Lipitor. The doctors tried to say kidney was from high blood pressure, my mother had low pressure. When I said I thought it was from Lipitor they all denied it could cause kidney those statements till I had them read the PDR (physician's desk reference). Being as one had a Lipitor Billboard on his collar, talking to him was like talking to a rock (although the rock would be smarter). I found out her personal doctor brought her cholesteral to 110 and her kidney doctor said everthing is fine although your kidneys are small. This was one month prior to total kidney failure. My mother's memory is totally gone. It has progressively gotten worse. Aparently cholesteral has an important function in the brain that hasn't been looked at by the medical profession. Today, my mother will ask the same question 5 times in a row in the span of 20 minutes. She forgets anything she is told almost immediately. Lipitor is killing people, it is a profit thing for Pfizer. When lawsuits exceed profit, it will be pulled, just like Baycol.
