Kidney disease
Statins, including atorvastatin, have a small, but significant beneficial effect on preventing the loss of kidney function and on reducing loss of protein in urine in people with cardiovascular disease.

Administration
Atorvastatin may be used in combination with bile acid sequestrants and ezetimibe to increase the reduction in cholesterol levels. However, It is not recommended to combine statin medication treatment with certain other cholesterol-lowering medications, particularly fibrates, because this may increase the risk of myopathy-related adverse effects.
While many statin medications should be administered at bedtime for optimal effect, atorvastatin can be dosed at any time of day, as long as it is continually dosed once daily at the same time.
