Complications including ascites and jaundice accompany the gradual decline in liver function that may lead to end-stage liver failure, a condition known as hepatic decompensation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liver cancer outcomes were best for those who used lipophilic (fat-soluble) statins such as atorvastatin and simvastatin, and for those who took statins for a longer period of time, the results were best for both liver cancer and hepatic decompensation. A board-certified cardiologist at Manhattan Cardiology in New York City, <a href=\"https:\/\/manhattancardiology.com\/es\/team\/jossef-amirian-md\/\">Jossef Amirian, MD<\/a>, offers his thoughts on the study&#8217;s findings and the function of statins. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/certain-type-statins-may-help-decrease-liver-cancer-risk\" target=\"_blank\"
