El conocimiento y actualización sobre la Cistatina C como marcador de daño renal precoz es en extremo necesario para los profesionales de la salud con vistas a mejorar el diagnóstico temprano de enfermedad renal. Las autoras realizaron una revisión bibliográfica actualizada a través de varios estud...
Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the benefits of an increase in water intake
guided by a mathematical formula (per kg of body weight) on kidney function in older adults.
Methods: Older adults (≥ 65 years old) cared for at the Internal Medicine Unit of a tertiary hospital
will be randomi...
Abstract Introduction: GFR is estimated by using creatinine and cystatin C to determine renal dysfunction. Our aim was to evaluate estimated GFR (eGFR) based on cystatin C in type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods: Study group included 52 controls (46% male, age: 54.5±12.4) a...
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is routinely estimated using endogenous biomarkers due to the complexity of direct measurement methods. Cystatin C is a protease inhibitor produced in all nucleated cells. It is freely filtered and then catabolized by renal tubular cells. Therefore, plasma concentration o...
Abstract Objective: To provide a new interpretation of the effect of intraoperative hemodynamic data on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) development and to determine the accuracy of some biomarkers which are thought to be the early markers of renal injury. Methods: One hundred adult patients w...
INTRODUCCIÓN. La Nefropatía Diabética es una complicación vascular crónica que ori-gina una serie de alteraciones funcionales y estructurales de manera principal a nivel glomerular. La cistatina C y la creatinina sérica son marcadores de la función renal. OBJE-TIVO. Correlacionar las ...
ABSTRACT Background: Migraine is a multifactorial neurovascular syndrome and closely associated to inflammation. Cystatin C (Cys C) is a neuroendocrine polypeptide which also plays a role in inflammation. Objective: To investigate the levels of Cys C in migraine patients without aura. Methods: A tota...
ABSTRACT Introduction: It has been suggested that cystatin C levels are modified by obesity and inflammation. Furthermore, cystatin C has been associated with cardiovascular events and mortality outcomes. Aim: To study the association of cystatin C with the metabolic profile and cardiovascular disease ...
A função renal alterada é um componente essencial do processo fisiopatológico que está relacionado ao pior prognóstico materno-fetal. Os rins estão entre os órgãos centrais afetados na pré-eclâmpsia, e desempenham um papel significativo na síntese e degradação das substâncias de baixo peso...
