In one study, fenofibrate was associated
with increases in serumcreatinine, probably unrelated to a decrease
in GFR [33]. However, analysis of our data showed that the 6
diabetic individuals who were on fenofibrate therapy did not have significantly
higher levels of creatinine.Whatever the reason for the higher
creatinine levels in the diabetic group, it does not affect our results, because
comparisons between the two creatinine methods were
performed separately in each group.
