... Organization pooled individual participant data from a community-based cohort study in Iwate prefecture. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was estimated using the estimated glomerular filtration rate of cystatin C (eGFRcys). Individuals with a history of hyperuricemia or severe renal dysfunction (eGFRcys <15 mL...

... cystatin C, and microalbuminuria) were collected. Results: Pearson’s correlation coefficient demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between PWV and serum creatinine in group of all subjects ( r = 0.220, p = 0.002). Further subdivision showed the correlation was significant in group 4 ( r...

..., Cystatin C (CysC), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were measured preoperatively, postoperatively (post-op), and at the first (D1) and second (D2) post-op day. AKI was defined as an increase of sCr to ≥1.5-fold from baseline within 2 days after surgery. Results: Of the 52 patients...

... clearance) in Center 1 was represented by s-creatinine and cystatin C combined Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration-cr-cy, even though the P 30 is reduced (84%) under the threshold of 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . Similar results were found in Center 2, with a wider discrepancy between mGFR-scnt...

... and tubular damage biomarkers may provide better precision for AKI detection. However, the diagnostic accuracy of this combination for AKI after neurosurgery is unclear. Serum cystatin C (sCysC) and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (uACR) are considered functional biomarkers, while urinary N-acetyl-β-D...

...Weipu Mao; Shenghua Liu; Keyi Wang; Miao Wang; Heng Shi; Qunlong Liu; Meiyu Bao; Bo Peng; Jiang Geng Background: Serum cystatin C (CysC) is still becoming used as a marker of renal function but is far from being commonly used worldwide. The purpose of this study was to characterize the ureteral...

... performed a subject-level meta-analysis to pool data from Cracow (64 cases/34 controls) and Leuven (93 cases/87 controls). We assessed and analyzed cystatin C, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), ultrasound kidney length, and blood pressure (BP) in 11-year-old ELBW children compared with controls...

... replacement therapy (RRT) for at least 14 days. For patients who had to restart dialysis within 14 days were considered unsuccessful. Results: Of the 110 patients evaluated, 89 (80.9%) were successfully weaned from CRRT. These patients had lower serum cystatin C (CysC) levels and higher urine output than...

...Yugang Hu; Huilan Liu; Liguo Du; Jing Wan; Xiaoning Li Background/Aims: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a serious clinical state associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly in critical ill patients. We investigated the hypothesis that serum Cystatin C (sCysC) is a good predictor for AKI...

Endre Background/Aims: Plasma cystatin C (pCysC) may be superior to serum creatinine (sCr) as a surrogate of GFR. However, the performance of pCysC for diagnosing acute...

... and confounding factors in the ED. Cystatin C (CysC), a newer renal biomarker, is influenced by thyroid function, inflammation and obesity. This study aims to be the first study to address the impact of these parameters in the ED. Methods: Admitted patients (n=397) were enrolled in the ED at Robert-Bosch-Hospital...

Methods: Demographic...

... Clinic creatinine [ 39,40 ]. The eGFR cystatinC (ml/min per 1.73 m 2 ) was estimated using the 2012 CKD-EPI cystatin C equation: 133 × min(SCysC/0.8, 1) -0.499 × max(SCysC/0.8, 1) -1.328 × 0.996 Age [× 0.932 if female], where SCysC is serum cystatin C measured in mg/l, min indicates...

...Oguzhan Arun; Gulperi Celik; Bahar Oc; Ali Unlu; Jale Bengi Celik; Mehmet Oc; Ates Duman Background/Aims: Cardiac surgery and diabetes are major causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). We aimed to investigate the value of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and serum cystatin C...

.... Methods: Prospective case series in 16 patients with thyroid dysfunction. Serum creatinine, 24-hour creatinine clearance, calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by Cockroft-Gault, estimated GFR (eGFR) by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation, serum cystatin C, eGFR based...

... disease. Serum and urinary NGAL as well as serum cystatin C were measured using commercially available kits. Serum NGAL was related, in univariate analysis, to serum creatinine, urinary NGAL, hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocyte count, eGFR, cystatin C. Urinary NGAL correlated with age, hemoglobin...

... the hypothesis whether NGAL could represent an early biomarker of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in 100 patients with normal serum creatinine values undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). In addition, we assessed serum and urinary NGAL in relation to cystatin C, estimated glomerular filtration...

...P. Benöhr; A. Grenz; J.T. Hartmann; G.A. Müller; S. Blaschke Background: Cystatin C has recently been proposed as an ideal marker for glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In this study, cystatin C serum levels were evaluated in comparison to serum creatinine concentrations and inulin clearances...
