Age-Related Changes of Cystatin C Expression and Polarized Secretion by Retinal Pigment Epithelium: Potential Age-Related Macular Degeneration Links [PDF]
, 2014 PURPOSE: Cystatin C, a potent cysteine proteinase inhibitor, is abundantly secreted by the RPE and may contribute to regulating protein turnover in the Bruch's membrane (BrM).

Estimated glomerular filtration rate correlates poorly with four-hour creatinine clearance in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction. RIFLE and AKIN provide a standardised classification of acute kidney injury (AKI), but their categorical rather than continuous nature restricts their use to a research tool. A more accurate real-time description of renal function in AKI is

To compare the level of cystatin C in type 2 diabetes mellitus with obesity
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020 Background: Cystatin C is a non-glycosylated basic protein that is produced and secreted at a constant rate by all nucleated cells. Cystatin C is a more reliable marker than the serum creatinine because it is less affected by external factors such as ...

Cystatin C deficiency in human atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysms [PDF]
, 2014 The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm involves breakdown of the elastic laminae. Elastolytic cysteine proteases, including cathepsins S and K, are overexpressed at sites of arterial elastin damage, but whether endogenous local

Cystatin C and Aging Success [PDF]
Archives of Internal Medicine, 2008 To our knowledge, the effect of kidney function on successful aging has not been examined.We evaluated the relationship between cystatin C and aging success during a 6-year follow-up in the Cardiovascular Health Study, a community-based cohort of older adults (aged >or= 65 years). Successful aging was defined as remaining free of cardiovascular disease,

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.

Serum cystatin C is an independent biomarker associated with the renal resistive index in patients with chronic kidney disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Cystatin C is a cysteine protease inhibitor that is produced by nearly all human cells. The serum level of cystatin C is a stronger predictor of the renal outcome and the risk of cardiovascular events than the creatinine level.
