Two Cases of Statin-Induced Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy: A Rare Side Effect of Statins
Statins are effective drugs for lowering cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular risk. Rarely, they can trigger autoimmune myopathies like immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), associated with anti-HMGCR antibodies.

Statin-induced autoimmune necrotizing myositis
Myositides comprise a large group of disorders involving limb muscle weakness. In differential diagnosis we have to consider idiopathic myositides, myositides associated with other diseases, and those induced by external factors, e.g.

Autoimmune necrotising myopathy and HMGCR antibodies
Statins lower serum cholesterol concentrations by inhibiting the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR). Muscle side effects are relatively common and include asymptomatic elevation of serum creatine kinase (CK), myalgia, proximal

The incidence of anti-HMGCR immune-mediated necrotising myopathy: an Australian and UK retrospective multi-site cohort study [PDF]
Objectives: Immune-mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM) with autoantibodies targeting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (anti-HMGCR) is considered a rare complication of statin therapy.
