Corticosteroids significantly increase cystatin C levels in the plasma by promoting cystatin C production in rats [PDF]
Renal Failure, 2019 Background: Several studies have shown that non-renal factors such as corticosteroids may increase plasma cystatin C levels without affecting kidney function. However, the mechanisms underlying this are unclear.

Cystatin C is downregulated in prostate cancer and modulates invasion of prostate cancer cells via MAPK/Erk and androgen receptor pathways. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Cystatin C is believed to prevent tumor progression by inhibiting the activities of a family of lysosomal cysteine proteases. However, little is known about the precise mechanism of cystatin C function in prostate cancer.

Cystatin C: current position and future prospects [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2008 Cystatin C is a low-molecular-weight protein which has been proposed as a marker of renal function that could replace creatinine. Indeed, the concentration of cystatin C is mainly determined by glomerular filtration and is particularly of interest in ...
