  " the review, only four side-effects out of 66 listed were found to have any association with taking statins, and only in a very small proportion of patients. The four were: liver test changes minor liver abnormalities urine changes tissue swelling/swollen ankles There was no increase in liver disease such as hepatitis or liver failure, suggesting that the liver blood test changes did not lead to more serious liver problems."
