Actually I think my answer is wrong. After thinking about it, I believe statins are used for stroke patients. My first thought was renal dysfuction, but i couldn't fully rationalize it. Have to look this up.

Am now going with A - SLE because of possible liver damage. Statins can cause hepatotoxicity.

I 'd go with SLE as well. May be 'cos of the potential hepatotoxicity, (*like tiff said).. But, the other 3 options dont seem right anyways...
