Cystatin C as a Biomarker for Identifying High-Risk Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: An Observational Study [PDF]
Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/HemostasisBackground Cystatin C is a cysteine protease inhibitor, synthesized by nucleated cells, and released into various body fluids. Lots of studies have reported an association between cystatin C and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Investigation of serum cystatin C levels and their diagnostic value in combination with inflammatory ratios in patients with bipolar disorder [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychiatryBackgroundIt is thought that inflammation significantly contributes to the development of bipolar disorder (BD), and recent findings indicate a connection between cystatin C and immune-related inflammation. In this study, we investigated serum cystatin C

Involvement of cystatin C in immunity and apoptosis
Immunology Letters, 2018 As an abundantly expressed cysteine protease inhibitor widely distributed in the organisms, cystatin C is involved in various physiological processes. Due to its relatively small molecular weight and easy detection, cystatin C is commonly used as a measure for glomerular filtration rate.
