The short answer
Serious liver injury is rare, and good studies haven't shown statins harm memory.
Mild rises in liver enzymes can happen and usually settle. Routine liver tests are no longer needed unless your clinician has a reason. If you notice anything new, report it rather than stopping on your own.
