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.

Creatinine and Cystatin C [PDF]
Circulation, 2018 Article, see p 2016 The current perception, based on data from earlier studies, is that worsening renal function (WRF) during diuresis of patients with acute heart failure (HF) means that the therapy is overzealous and exposes the patients to permanent kidney injury and increased mortality.1 Underlying this view is the assumption that increased serum

Serum Cystatin C for Estimation of GFR
JAMA, 2022 An 80-year-old man with type 2 diabetes and hypertension was referred to the nephrology clinic for persistent hyperkalemia. The patient was frail and sedentary, with a BMI of 37. His estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated using creatinine was 64 mL/min/1.73 m2. How would you interpret these results?

Cystatin C Is Not Causally Related to Coronary Artery Disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Strong and independent associations between plasma concentration of cystatin C and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) suggests causal involvement of cystatin C.The aim of our study was to assess whether there is a causal relationship between plasma ...
