Cystatin C, renal function, and cardiovascular risk.
Because all the patients had chronic kidney disease (CKD) (GFR <55 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 ), this study cannot be used to assert that cystatin C is definitively better than creatinine for detecting stage 3 kidney disease (GFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 ). Regarding the study methods, the authors do not mention when cystatin C was measured in the frozen samples. Were the samples measured retrospective...
متن کاملCystatin C and renal function in pediatric renal 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 کاملCystatin C: More than a renal function marker.
The work by Dr. Francisco Ortuño-Andériz et al.,1 is an important contribution to delineate the use of cystatin C in intensive care. Cystatin C was described as a marker of glomerular filtration rate, GFR, about 30 years ago,2,3 but it was not until 1994, when it was stated to be a more accurate marker for GFR than creatinine,4 that substantial efforts were initiated to define its role as a mar...
متن کاملSerum cystatin C, renal filtration function, and left ventricular remodeling.
It is now accepted that there is a link between renal dysfunction and heart disease, although physiological mechanisms remain unclear. The incidence and prevalence of chronic kidney disease are increasing, and it is estimated that 26 million Americans now have chronic kidney disease.1 From a public health standpoint, HF and chronic kidney disease are similar in that the underlying pathology is ...
