Comparison of ten biochemical laboratory tests before and after treatment by statins

Results of 10 biochemical tests of 172 patient data (among them 84 men data and 88 women data, resp.) before and after administration of statins were thoroughly studied. All monitored patients are characterized by disorders of lipoprotein metabolism or other kind of dislipidaemia. The calculations were performed using four chemometrical methods facilitating quantification and visualization of the statin effect upon most important biochemical parameters, mainly lipid markers, and allowing classification of the patient blood samples taking into account whether the patient has been or has not been medicated by a statin drug.
