Effect of Fenofibrate on Kidney Function: A 6-Week Randomized Crossover Trial in Healthy People

Short-term fenofibrate treatment did not alter glomerular filtration rate by more than 20% in subjects with normal kidney function, but a smaller decrease cannot be ruled out. Increased serum creatinine levels may be caused by decreased creatinine clearance. The explanation for decreased creatinine clearance and increased serum creatinine levels in this study is not clear.
