age 18 - 80
totalrecruitment 160
inclusion - patients on chronic haemodialysis for at least 3 month
- 18 < age < 80 years
- serum albumin level < 40 g/L
- chronic inflammation defined by C-Reactive Protein (CRP) range 10-50 mg/L twice for an interval > 1 month
- no identifiable cause of inflammation
- negative pregnancy test
- patient\'s consent
- patients with diabetes can be included
exclusion Pregnant women or likely to be pregnant without oral contraception or in feeding period.
Severe comorbidities influencing vital prognosis within <1 year:
- cancer other than skin cancer (except melanoma)
- severe cardiovasculary diseases (myocardial infarction from less than 6 months, heart failure NYHA stage IV, occlusive arterial lower limb disease stages III and IV).
Comorbidity likely to have a long standing detrimental effect on nutritional status:
- severe digestive diseases such as Crohn\'s disease, haemorrhagic rectocolitis, caeliac disease or malabsorption
- chronic inflammatory diseases, vasculitides, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis.
All hepatic or biliary pathologies and/or hepatic biological abnormalities, in particular transaminases > 3x upper limit of normal (ULN).
Treatments interfering with nutritional or inflammatory status (steroids, chronic NSAIDs).
Current immunosuppressent treatment.
Current treatment statin or in the last 3 months .
Muscle enzyme (CPK, ASAT) activities > ULN.
Treatment with fibrate.
Patients without an adequate dialysis dose (weekly length dialysis < 12 h/week and/or Kt/V <1,2).
primaryoutcomes Differences in lean body mass as assessed by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry after 1 year of treatment by pravastatin or placebo in haemodialysis patients with chronic inflammation
secondaryoutcomes - effects of pravastatin on markers of inflammation (in particular CRP), relations between inflammation-nutrition-metabolism
- mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory action of pravastatin
- potential effect of pravastatin on reduction in mortality
