International Journal of Hematology-Oncology and Stem Cell Research, 2020 Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common primary hepatobiliary cancer. These patients have meager prognosis and short-term survival. Precise assessment of glomerular filtration rate is a fundamental aspect of clinical care in cancer

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,

The Generic Isogeny Decomposition of the Prym Variety of a Cyclic Branched Covering [PDF]
Geometriae Dedicata (2022), 2021 Let $f\colon S'\longrightarrow S$ be a cyclic branched covering of smooth projective surfaces over $\mathbb{C}$ whose branch locus $\Delta\subset S$ is a smooth ample divisor. Pick a very ample complete linear system $|\mathcal{H}|$ on $S$, such that the polarized surface $(S, |\mathcal{H}|)$ is not a scroll nor has rational hyperplane sections.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is linked to poor survival. The predictive value of creatinine estimated GFR (eGFR) and cystatin C eGFR in critically ill patients may differ substantially, but has been less studied.

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.

Estimating glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine and cystatin C.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2012 BACKGROUND Estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that are based on serum creatinine are routinely used; however, they are imprecise, potentially leading to the overdiagnosis of chronic kidney disease.

Elevated cystatin-C concentration is associated with progression to prediabetes: the Western New York Study [PDF]
, 2007 OBJECTIVE – We conducted a nested case-control investigation to examine if elevated baseline concentrations of cystatin-C predicted progression from normoglycaemia to prediabetes over 6 years of follow-up from the Western New York Health Study. RESEARCH

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

Impact of Growth Hormone on Cystatin C [PDF]
Nephron Extra, 2013 <b><i>Background:</i></b> Cystatin C (CysC) is an alternative marker to creatinine for estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Hormones such as thyroid hormones and glucocorticoids are known to have an impact on CysC.

Is cystatin C useful for the detection and the estimation of low glomerular filtration rate in heart transplant patients? [PDF]
, 2007 Although previously studied in patients with chronic kidney disease, there is less data for the use of cystatin C and cystatin C-based formulas in heart transplant recipients.
