Accuracy of cystatin C in prediction of acute kidney injury in children; serum or urine levels: which one works better? A systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesBMC Nephrology, 2017
BackgroundThere is still an ongoing discussion on the prognostic value of cystatin C in assessment of kidney function. Accordingly, the present study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to provide evidence for the prognostic value of this biomarker for ...

Cystatin C Predicts Incident Cardiovascular Disease in Twins

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundCystatin C is associated with both renal function and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). We have previously shown a genetic correlation between cystatin C and prevalent ASCVD.

Algorithmic Changes Are Not Enough: Evaluating the Removal of Race Adjustment from the eGFR Equation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Changing clinical algorithms to remove race adjustment has been proposed and implemented for multiple health conditions. Removing race adjustment from estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations may reduce disparities in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but has not been studied in clinical practice after implementation. Here, we assessed whether

A Geometric Proof of Mordell's Conjecture for Function Fields [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2007
Let $\Cal C,\Cal C'$ be curves over a base scheme $S$ with $g(\Cal C)\ge 2$. Then the functor $T\mapsto\{$generically smooth $T$-morphisms $T\times_S\Cal C'\to T\times_S\Cal C\}$ from $((S$-schemes)) to ((sets)) is represented by a quasi-finite unramified $S$-scheme.

Biological Variation of Creatinine, Cystatin C, and eGFR over 24 Hours.

open access: yesClinical Chemistry, 2018
BACKGROUND Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is widely used in clinical practice. This study assessed the within-subject biological variation (CVI) of different eGFR equations in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and people without CKD ...

The transcriptional profile of iron deficiency in patients with heart failure: Heme‐sparing and reduced immune processes

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The analysis workflow, findings and potential clinical consequences of iron deficiency in heart failure (HF). From 881 patients with worsening HF, whole blood transcriptome was analysed using the Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Array (HTA) 2.0. Subjects were stratified according to their transferrin saturation (TSAT) levels as iron‐deficient (TSAT <20%)

Serum cystatin C measurement in differential diagnosis of intra and extrahepatic cholestatic diseases

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2010
Objective. Cystatin C is a very potent inhibitor of cysteine proteinases and, it has been clinically applied as a sensitive marker in monitoring of renal and liver functions.

Clinical Association of Cystatin C and Atrial Fibrillation in Chinese Elderly

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gerontology, 2015
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with inflammation. Cystatin C is not only an inflammatory marker but also an independent predictor of cardiovascular events.
