Relationship of High Circulating Cystatin C to Biochemical Markers of Bone Turnover and Bone Mineral Density in Elderly Males with a Chronic Heart Failure.
In the IGT group, the index which reflects the function of renal tubule-like N-acetyl-<i>β</i>-glucosaminidase, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, retinol-binding protein, and cystatin C was higher than those in the control group and the NGT group (<i>P</i> < 0.05).
We assume that elevated levels of OPN and cystatin C in POAG and PACG along with altered cathepsin levels may contribute to ECM aberration in glaucoma.
We examined the relationships of cystatin C-based glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) and creatinine-based GFR (eGFRcr), as well as their ratio with occurrence of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
We aimed to investigate the efficiency of cystatin C levels in predicting nephrotoxicity due to antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
The expression profiles of CSTB and other candidate modifying genes, cathepsin B and cystatin C, were established by quantitative RT-PCR, and their respective transcription levels were compared with those from patients with a classic picture of ULD.
The levels of 24-h urine protein, homocysteine (Hcy), cystatin-C (Cys-C), serum creatinine (SCr), urea and β2 microglobulin in the pre-eclampsia groups were higher than those in the gestational hypertension group (P<0.05).
This longitudinal, prospective study analyzed the first-year profile of two serum renal biomarkers: creatinine (sCr) and cystatin C (sCyC); and six urinary renal biomarkers: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), retinol-binding protein (RBP), cystatin C (uCyC), and microalbuminuria (μALB) in a cohort of 37 infants with UTO divided into three subgroups: 14/37 with unilateral hydro(uretero)nephrosis, 13/37 with bilateral hydro(uretero)nephrosis, and 10/37 patients with lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO), compared with 24 healthy infants matched by gestational age and birth weight.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between CysC and cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients without renal dysfunction.
The exposure variable used was eGFR level (CKD-EPI based on creatinine and cystatin C) with eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> as a reference; the outcomes were mortality, acute cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, and rapid kidney function decline (RKFD; defined as a decline in eGFR by 3 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> per year or more).
Determination of effective half-life of <sup>131</sup>I in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma: comparison of cystatin C and creatinine-based estimation of renal function.
Here, we aimed to investigate the association of cystatin C with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular outcomes in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) with preserved renal function.
It is probable that measurement of the serum cystatin C level and detection of CST3 gene polymorphism would aid in the early diagnosis of VCI, but further studies are warranted.
Correction: HIV Viremia and T-cell Activation Differentially Affect the Performance of Glomerular Filtration Rate Equations Based on Creatinine and Cystatin C.
Additionally, cystatin C level was associated with different subtypes of ACI; large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) subtype had the highest level of cystatin C in ACI and recurrent ACI group.
Increased serum CysC levels in early PD patients were significantly associated with higher apnea and hypopnea index (AHI) (r = 0.231, P = 0.017), especially hypopnea index (r = 0.333, P < 0.001).
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that BCa patients with cysC concentration <0.54 μg/ml [sensitivity: 87%; specificity: 92%; area under the curve (AUC) of ROC: 0.927; P=0.02] could be optimally separated from healthy people.
