Standardization of Cystatin C: development of primary and secondary reference preparations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Primary Reference Preparation has been produced using pure, recombinant, Cystatin C in a solvent of 0.1 mol/L KCl. Dry mass determination of the Primary Reference Preparation resulted in a Cystatin C concentration of 5.20 g/L. Agarose-electrophoresis and SDS-electrophoresis, as well as N-terminal sequencing, verified the purity, homogeneity and identity of Cystatin C in the Primary Reference Preparation. For the Secondary Reference Preparation, a serum pool was collected and stabilized. A pilot batch was made to verify the selected procedure and spiking with the pure, recombinant Cystatin C. The final Secondary Reference Preparation is now produced (4468 vials) and ready for value assignment and further characterization.

SERUM 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...

Background & Aims : In the past serum creatinine concentration was used as one of the important markers for early detection of kidney disorders, however recent studies suggest serum cystatin C to be a better marker. Therefore in this study we compared the diagnostic value of cystatin C with serum creatinine to evaluate kidney function in patients with high blood pressure. Materials & Meth...
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 کاملEarly 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 ...
متن کاملComparative 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...
