The purpose of this study is to verify whether pitavastatin prevents from cardiovascular events and improves the mortality in chronic hemodialysis patients with hypercholesteremia.
It was already proved by the clinical trials that statins prevent from death and cardiovascular events. However, the efficacy of statins in patients with chronic hemodialysis has not been proved yet.
