Aim: In addition to the risk of progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) is also known to be associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Statins may improve renal function in CKD patients.Methods: The database of the LIVALO Effectiveness and Safety (LIVES) Study, a large-scale (n = 20,279), long-term (104 weeks), prospective post-marketing surveillance study of hypercholesterolemic patients treated with pitavastatin, was used to evaluate the effects of pitavastatin on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).Results: Of the 19,925 patients enrolled in the aforementioned study, data from 3,119 patients were analyzed to evaluate the effects of pitavastatin treatment for 104 weeks on the eGFR. In this sub-analysis, 958 patients with a baseline eGFR of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (30.7%) were analyzed. A significant increase of the eGFR (+ 5.4 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) was observed after 104 weeks of pitavastain treatment (p
