case_images: The response to corticosteroid was good and SCr improved to 1.3 mg/dl at the end of 2 months [Figure 2]. SCr was 1.4 mg/dl at the initiation of rosuvastatin therapy and gradually increased to a peak of 1.8 mg/dl at 4 weeks [Figure 2]. Serum CK was normal (55 U/L) and there was no evidence of any other etiologic factor to account for
