چکیده

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The protein cystatin C has a stable plasma concentration and is eliminated exclusively by the kidneys. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of cystatin C in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS The prospective study included 203 hospitalized ACS patients. Clinical evaluation during the first 24 hours of hospitalization included a hemogram and measurement of creatinine, cystatin C, total and fractionated cholesterol and markers of myocardial necrosis. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using the MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) equation. A comparison was made between two groups of patients divided according to a serum cystatin-C level above or below 0.95 mg/L. The mean follow-up period was 151 days. RESULTS In total, 90 patients (44.3%) had a cystatin-C level < or =0.95 mg/L and 113 (55.7%) had a level >0.95 mg/L. Those with a cystatin-C level >0.95 mg/L had poorer in-hospital outcomes, including more frequent heart failure (51.3% vs. 13.3%; P=.001) and higher in-hospital mortality (17.6% vs. 3.3%; P=.001), as well as higher mortality throughout follow-up (22.0% vs. 5.6%; P=.001). Multivariate analysis adjusted for age, ejection fraction and troponin-I and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein concentrations showed that cystatin C was the most powerful independent predictor of a cardiovascular event (relative risk=1.91; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-3.53). Patients with a GFR >60 mL/1.73 m(2) and a cystatin-C level >0.95 mg/L had higher in-hospital mortality (10.2% vs. 3.9%; P=.001). CONCLUSIONS Measurement of cystatin C in high-risk ACS patients may be clinically useful for risk stratification during hospitalization, particularly in those with a normal GFR.

Comparison 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...

Cystatin C: a novel predictor of outcome in suspected or confirmed non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome.

BACKGROUND Patients with suspected or confirmed non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS) constitute a large and heterogeneous group. Measurements of renal function such as serum creatinine and estimation of creatinine clearance carry independent prognostic information in this population. Cystatin C is a new and better marker of renal function than creatinine. The aim was therefore to eval...

Early Acute Kidney Injury based on Serum Creatinine or Cystatin C in Intensive Care Unit after Major Trauma

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common problem in critically ill patients and is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recently, serum cystatin C has been shown to be superior to creatinine in early detection of renal function impairment. We compared estimated GFR based on serum cystatin C with estimated GFR based on serum creatinine for early detection of ...

Comparative Assessment of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and Cystatin C as Early Biomarkers for Early Detection of Renal Failure in Patients with Hypertension

Background: Hypertension is one the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). One of the major concerns in hypertensive patients is early detection of renal disorders. In the past, serum creatinine (Scr) concentration was used as a marker of kidney function, but it proffers a late reflection of reduced glomerular filtration rate. Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocal...
