There has been a great deal of excitement regarding the potential benefits of statins beyond their lipid-lowering effect, and repurposing them for other indications. In this commentary, we evaluate the role of statins in protecting the kidneys, with a focus on three areas: cardiac surgery, contrast-induced nephropathy, and aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity
