Serum cystatin C concentration as a marker of acute renal dysfunction in critically ill patients
INTRODUCTION In critically ill patients sudden changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are not instantly followed by parallel changes in serum creatinine. The aim of the present study was to analyze the utility of serum cystatin C as a marker of renal function in these patients. METHODS Serum creatinine, serum cystatin C and 24-hour creatinine clearance (CCr) were determined in 50 critica...
متن کاملCystatin-C as a Marker for Renal Impairment in Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a devastating pregnancy-associated disorder characterized by the onset of hypertension, proteinuria, and edema with limited plausible pathophysiology known. Cystatin-C, a novel marker for the detection of renal impairment, is increased in preeclampsia at an early stage. This study was aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of Cystatin-C as an early marker of renal function ...
متن کاملCystatin C: a marker of renal function or something more?
Over the past decade, we have come to appreciate that individuals with even moderately reduced renal function are at increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There is no consensus, however, on how renal function should be measured. The most precise and accurate methods (such as inulin clearance) are impractical in the clinical setting and for larger research studies. Serum cre...

متن کاملSerum cystatin C is a better marker of topotecan clearance than serum creatinine.
PURPOSE To evaluate plasma cystatin level as a covariate to predict topotecan pharmacokinetics. Cystatin C, a member of the cystatin superfamily of cysteine proteinase inhibitors, has been recently proposed as an alternative endogenous marker of glomerular filtration. Renal function is known as a key factor of topotecan clearance. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Data were obtained from 59 patients who un...
