Abstract
We describe a case referred for worsening hypercholesterolemia in the setting of atorvastatin and fenofibrate-induced liver injury. The patient reported neurological complaints attributed to hyperviscosity syndrome (induced by lipoprotein-X and lipoprotein-Z). Hepatic recovery was associated with reduction of whole blood viscosity and amelioration of neurological symptoms. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
