sentence: Statins can cause damage to muscle cells.
sentences_before: Rhabdomyolysis means a disease where muscle cells are damaged and die.
sentences_after: This can cause weakness and muscle pain. The worse problem though is that when muscle cells die, they release cell proteins into the blood. The kidney removes the muscle protein from the blood. If the kidney takes up too much protein, it can be hurt. If it is bad enough it can cause kidney failure.
