Cystatin C as a filtration marker--haemodialysis patients expose its strengths and limitations

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation
P SjöströmM Tidman

Abstract

The reliability of serum cystatin C (s-Cys) as a filtration marker depends on the intra- and inter-individual variation and influence of non-renal factors of its production rate (Cys(pr)), non-renal clearance (CL(nr)) and sieving coefficient (S). Haemodialysis patients with no residual renal function would be the best population in which to investigate these variables, which otherwise require reliable GFR measurements. Seventy-nine haemodialysis (HD) patients with negligible residual renal function (Group 1) were investigated and compared with 55 HD patients with varying degrees of residual renal function (Group 2) and 923 non-dialysis patients (Group 3). The equation eGFR = Cys(pr)/s-Cys-CL(nr) was used to analyse the turnover and variation of cystatin C. A formula for estimating GFR, eGFR = 99/s-Cys-14.1, calculated from Group 3, was shown to fit the HD patients. The measured s-Cys in Group 1 was 6.9+/-0.9 and 6.4+/-1.1 mg/L in Group 2. The calculated 95% confidence interval of eGFR of +/-(30-40) % increased sharply below GFR 20 mL/min/1.73 m(2), which means that s-Cys cannot be used for calculating low GFR, including the residual GFR of dialysis patients. Nicotine users in Group 1 had significantly higher s-Cys than non-user...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
