BackgroundInflammation may contribute to the high cardiovascular risk in diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) facilitates the recruitment of monocytes into atherosclerotic lesions and is involved in diabetic nephropathy. Interferon gamma (IFN) is important in atherosclerosis and increases the synthesis of chemokines including MCP-1. Lipid-lowering treatment (LLT) with statins may have anti-inflammatory effects, and ezetimibe cotreatment provides additional cholesterol lowering.MethodsAfter a placebo run-in period, the effects of simvastatin alone (S) or simvastatin + ezetimibe (S+E) were compared in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study on inflammatory parameters. Eighteen DM patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 15-59mL/minx173m(2) (CKD stages 3-4) (DM-CKD) and 21 DM patients with eGFR >75mL/min (DM only) were included.ResultsAt baseline, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) (P=003), IFN (P=002), tumour necrosis factor- (TNF) (P
