Serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate: perception and reality.

چکیده

Na primeira leitura, o relato de Spanaus et al.(13) no Clinical Chemistry pode ser descartado como apenas mais uma comparação entre biomarcadores séricos para taxa de filtração glomerular (TFG). Entretanto, os resultados e as conclusões deverão estimular uma reavaliação da concepção errônea, amplamente disseminada, de que a creatinina sérica é um biomarcador insensível da TFG e uma afirmação do seu papel no diagnóstico e monitoramento da doença renal.

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...

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...

Glomerular filtration rate determination by creatinine and cystatin-C in patients with acute pyelonephritis

Background: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and monitoring of it in any patient on nephrotoxic drugs is very important. Recently, cystatin C (cys-C) has been introduced as a better marker for determining and monitoring renal function than creatinine especially in a mild decrease of GFR. This study was done to assess the change of GFR measurement based on serum Cys-C and creatini...

Assessment of renal function by serum creatinine and creatinine clearance: glomerular filtration rate estimated by four procedures.

We compared creatinine concentrations in serum and urine and creatinine clearances determined by two Jaffé (Beckman's "Astra," Boehringer Mannheim Diagnostics) and two enzymatic (Kodak, Boehringer Mannheim Diagnostics) methods. Serum creatinine and creatinine clearances determined by each method were also compared with the glomerular filtration rate as measured with use of sodium [125I]iothalam...

Cystatin C as a marker of glomerular filtration rate in voluntary kidney donors.

OBJECTIVES Cystatin C is emerging as an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate. This study sought to assess the usefulness of serum cystatin C as a marker of glomerular filtration rate in comparison with serum creatinine and serum creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate estimations in voluntary kidney donors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum cystatin C and serum creatinine were estima...
