An Asian patient comes to the clinic. Upon assessment, the nurse notes a slight yellow tint to the skin and sclera, edema, and hepatomegaly. The drug history reveals that the patient has been taking rosuvastatin (Crestor) for 6 months.
 
  The nurse is concerned, because rosuvastatin (Crestor) has been shown to a. cause renal and pancreatic toxicity specifically in Asian patients.
  b. cause hepatotoxicity that immediately leads to renal failure.
  c. create myoglobin in the urine, leading to hepatotoxicity.
  d. reach levels twice as high in Asians as in Caucasians, resulting in a greater chance of hepatotoxicity.
