Comparison of cystatin C and creatinine as predictors of cardiovascular events in a community-based elderly population.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Reduced renal function is an established risk factor for cardiovascular events. We compared 3 measures of renal function--serum cystatin C, serum creatinine, and calculated creatinine clearance--as predictors of subsequent cardiovascular events in a community-based population of elderly individuals. METHODS Comprehensive cardiovascular risk factor data were available for 1410 surviving participants of previous Busselton health surveys who were >or=60 years old. Hazard ratios for risk of incident coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease over 10 years of follow-up were derived for each baseline measure of renal function by use of Cox regression. RESULTS All measures of renal function were significantly related to risks of morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease. There were 453 incident cardiovascular disease events; and the age- and sex-adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) were 1.34 (1.23-1.46), 1.32 (1.20-1.45), and 1.22 (1.06-1.41) per 1-SD deterioration in cystatin C, creatinine, and creatinine clearance, respectively. All 3 measures gave approximately the same age-adjusted relative risk estimates. After further adjustment for established cardiovascular risk factors, the relative risk estimates were all reduced but remained statistically significant (P < 0.05). Cystatin C was not a significant predictor for cardiovascular disease after adjustment for creatinine clearance. CONCLUSIONS In relation to predicting risk for coronary heart disease or cardiovascular disease over a 10-year follow-up in a community-based population of elderly subjects, there was no evidence that cystatin C was a better risk predictor than creatinine or creatinine clearance.

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...
متن کاملCystatin C as a Predictor of Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in a Population with Chronic Kidney Disease
Background. We examine whether cystatin C, a surrogate marker of renal function, could identify patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with an increased risk of renal disease progression, death, or cardiovascular events. Methods. Data were obtained for 180 patients, with a diagnosis of chronic renal failure based on serum creatinine estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcreat) <90 mL/mi...

متن کاملComparison of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) Equations with and without Cystatin C for Predicting Clinical Outcomes in Elderly Women
BACKGROUND Reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the cystatin-C derived equations might be a better predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality compared with the creatinine-derived equations, but this association remains unclear in elderly individuals. AIM The aims of this study were to compare the predictive values of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collab...
متن کاملSERUM CYSTATIN C AS A NEW MARKER OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE (GFR)
Cystatin C is a 13 KD basic protein that is a member of the cystatin superfamily of cysteine protease inhibitors. The cystatin C gene seems to be a house keeping gene, which is compatible with a stable production rate of cystatin C by most cells. This protein is freely filtered through the glomerulus and almost completely reabsorbed and catabolized by proximal tubular cells. Because of the...
