Cystatin C is correlated with mortality in patients with and without acute kidney injury.
BACKGROUND Recent research has shown cystatin C to predict mortality and cardiovascular morbidity independent of renal function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of cystatin C on mortality in adult general ICU patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). We later expanded the study and included patients without signs of AKI. METHODS A total of 845 ICU patients were analy...
متن کاملCystatin-C is associated with partial recovery of kidney function and progression to chronic kidney disease in living kidney donors
Donor nephrectomy in living-donor kidney transplantation may result in hyperfiltration injury in remnant kidney; however, its clinical implication in partial recovery of kidney function (PRKF) in remnant kidney and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression remains unclear. Thus, we investigated the effect of PRKF on CKD development in the residual kidney and the utility of cystatin-C (Cys-C) in ...
متن کاملCystatin C and renal function in pediatric kidney transplant recipients.
In clinical practice, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is often determined with serum creatinine. However, studies have shown cystatin C to be a better parameter for the diagnosis of impaired renal function. We compared GFR estimated by plasma cystatin C with GFR estimated by serum creatinine in a sample of 50 pediatric renal transplant recipients and 24 healthy children. The correlation be...
متن کاملComparison of Serum Cystatin C and Creati-nine Levels to Evaluate Early Renal Function after Kidney Transplantation
Background: Accurate and rapid assessment of allograft function is essential in renal transplant recipients in order to detect allograft rejection and to monitor drug nephrotoxicity. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of cystatin C as a marker of kidney allograft function in the early post-transplant period and to compare this value with that of conventional serum creatinine concentration. Met...
متن کاملSerum cystatin C as an endogenous marker of kidney function in elderly with chronic kidney failure
Concentration of serum cystatine C primarly dependes on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and cystatin C concentration in serum can be used as an endogenous marker of kidney function. Use of cystatin C in the assesment of GFR in elderely, childern and pre dialysis patients could be usful. The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of cystatin C as a renal marker of the glomerular filtrati...
