  • Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 15-50 ml/min (measured the last 6 months) or GFR >75ml/min. GFR will be established by 24-hour Iohexolclearence.
  • Age 18-80 years
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

  • Definite history of myocardial infarction, coronary revascularisation procedure or stroke. (i.e, a strong clinical indication for statin treatment)
  • Functioning renal transplant, or living donor-related transplant planned.
  • Patients on dialysis.
  • Poor metabolic control, i.e HbA1c > 9%
  • Definite history of chronic liver disease, or abnormal liver function (i.e ALT >1,5 x ULN or, if ALT not available, AST > 1,5 x ULN).
  • Evidence of active inflammatory muscle disease (e.g dermatomyositis, polymyositis), or CK>3 x ULN
  • Definite previous adverse reaction to a statin or to ezetimibe
  • Definite previous adverse reaction to acetylsalicylic acid.
  • Definite previous adverse reaction to an ACE-inhibitor.
