The method inciudes coilecting a lipidomic profile from a biological sample such as blood or serum and comparing the obtained lipidomic profile to reference iipidomic markers. The reference iipidomic markers have been established by combining a pro-inflammatory muscle tissue gene expression profile with a iipidomic profile associated with high dosage statin treatment. This invention aiso relates to a kit for performing a method for determining statin induced myopathy.
