Estimated GFR and risk of death--is cystatin C useful?
Current estimates suggest that as many as one in six persons in North America have chronic kidney disease,1 a condition that may worsen over time and signal the need for continuous monitoring. Knowing which patient with chronic kidney disease is at risk for end-stage kidney disease or death could tell us who needs intensive monitoring or intervention. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the c...
متن کاملReduced cystatin C-estimated GFR and increased creatinine-estimated GFR in comparison with iohexol-estimated GFR in a hyperthyroid patient: A case report
INTRODUCTION Estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for the evaluation of patients with kidney disease, and for treating patients with drugs that are eliminated from the circulation by the kidneys. Cystatin C has been shown to be superior to creatinine for estimating GFR in several studies. However, studies showing that thyroid function has an impact on cystatin C have ...
متن کاملAssociation of cystatin C and estimated GFR with inflammatory biomarkers: the Heart and Soul Study.
BACKGROUND Cystatin C is a marker of kidney function that may also be associated with inflammation. In this study, we compared the relative strengths of association of cystatin C and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with inflammatory biomarkers. METHODS We measured serum cystatin C and creatinine in 990 outpatients with coronary artery disease enrolled in the Heart and Soul Study. ...
متن کاملLimited Value of Cystatin-C over Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate for Heart Failure Risk Stratification
BACKGROUND To compare the prognostic value of estimated glomerular filtration rate, cystatin-C, an alternative renal biomarker, and their combination, in an outpatient population with heart failure. Estimated glomerular filtration rate is routinely used to assess renal function in heart failure patients. We recently demonstrated that the Cockroft-Gault formula is the best among the most commonl...
متن کاملEstimated GFR is biased by non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
BACKGROUND Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on either cystatin C or creatinine performs similarly in estimating measured GFR, but associate differently with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. This could be due to confounding by non-GFR-related traits associated with cystatin C and creatinine levels. We investigated non-GFR-related associations between eGFR and two type...
