Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimation Based on Cystatin C Formulas among Neonates [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Neonatology, 2021 Background: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best indicator to assess renal function; however, it is difficult to perform it, especially in neonates.

Serum Cystatin C Levels Are Associated With Obesity in Adolescents Aged 14–17 Years
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 BackgroundThe association between serum cystatin C levels and obesity has not been fully explored in adolescents. This study aimed to explore the association between serum cystatin C levels and obesity in adolescents of different sexes.MethodsWe ...

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.

Megalin dependent urinary cystatin C excretion in ischemic kidney injury in rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Cystatin C, a marker of kidney injury, is freely filtered in the glomeruli and reabsorbed by the proximal tubules. Megalin and cubilin are endocytic receptors essential for reabsorption of most filtered proteins.

Cystatin C and Cardiovascular Risk [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2009 Abstract Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular events. Cystatin C, a protease inhibitor synthesized in all nucleated cells, has been proposed as a replacement for serum creatinine for the assessment of renal function, particularly to detect ...

Cystatin C: A Primer for Pharmacists [PDF]
Pharmacy, 2020 Pharmacists are at the forefront of dosing and monitoring medications eliminated by or toxic to the kidney. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of these medications, accurate measurement of kidney function is paramount. The mainstay of kidney assessment for drug dosing and monitoring is serum creatinine (SCr)-based estimation equations.

Cystatin C in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012 Changes in expression and secretion levels of cystatin C (CysC) in the brain in various neurological disorders and in animal models of neurodegeneration underscore a role for CysC in these conditions. A polymorphism in the CysC gene (CST3) is linked to increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

GFR Estimation After Cystatin C Reference Material Change
Kidney International Reports, 2021 Introduction: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is routinely estimated with cystatin C. In June 2010, the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) released a certified cystatin C reference material (ERM-DA471/IFCC), and new cystatin C ...

Cystatin C and Uncontrolled Hypertension
The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2020 Increased serum level of cystatin C, a sensitive biomarker for renal function, seems to predict adverse cardiovascular events. We investigated the predictive value of serum cystatin C for controlling hypertension in an observational study.We screened 1037 adults residing in both rural and urban communities.
