Whether you need atorvastatin or not depends upon your overall risk profile which needs complete lipid profile not just total cholesterol level as well as many other parameters. Higher blood urea only has no meaning. What is your creattinije level? Is there any proteinurea? What is your BP level ? I need this information for further assessment.
