CYSTATIN C RESEARCH: Serum Cystatin C Is an Early Predictive Biomarker of Acute Kidney Injury after Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass

http://cystatin-c.blogspot.com/2010/09/serum-cystatin-c-is-early-predictive.html

Serum Cystatin C Is an Early Predictive Biomarker of Acute Kidney Injury after Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass. Results: One hundred nineteen patients (32%) developed AKI using SCr criteria. Serum cystatin C concentrations were significantly increased in AKI patients at 12 hours after CPB (P. Conclusion: Serum cystatin C is an early predictive biomarker for AKI and its clinical outcomes after pediatric CPB. Posted by Diagnostic Research. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Cystatin C Level as a Predictor of Death and Cardiovascular Events After Liver Transplantation. Clinical and biochemical data, including Cys levels, were analyzed in 99 cirrhotic candidates for OLT. We recorded cardiovascular events. Receiver-operator characteristics curves showed a similar efficiency to detect a creatinine clearance. 1400 ng/mL before OLT, showing a significant difference (P.

CYSTATIN C RESEARCH: April 2011

Cystatin C, a marker for successful aging and glomerular filtration rate, is not influenced by inflammation. Methods. Cystatin C, creatinine, and the inflammatory markers CRP, serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin and orosomucoid were measured in plasma samples from 35 patients the day before elective surgery and subsequently during seven consecutive days. Conclusion. The inflammatory status of a patient does not influence the role of cystatin C as a marker of successful aging, nor of GFR. Links to this post.

CYSTATIN C RESEARCH: August 2009

http://cystatin-c.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Cystatin C and CRP:Change of glomerular filtration rate in healthy adults with aging. AIM: In order to determine the relationship between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and age, the associated factors, and the accurate method of GFR in healthy adults, we conducted a cross-sectional study in community-dwelling adults in Beijing. METHODS: Renal function of 201 clinically healthy subjects was determined using technetium-99 m-labelled diethylene triamine pentacetic acid ( 99m)Tc-DTPA). Estimated GFR wa...

Prostate Specific Antigen Research. Painkillers May Prevent Prostate Problems. By: Sylvia Booth Hubbard. Over-the-counter painkillers like Advil and aspirin may help men stave off prostate problems, according to two new studies. However, medical experts are quick to warn men not to self-medicate, and especially not to take more than recommended dosages. Links to this post.

The Basis of Racial Differences in the Incidence of Thyroid Cancer. BACKGROUND: The incidence of thyroid cancer. In black Americans is half that in white Americans. It is unknown whether this gap represents a population difference in disease or is attributable to inferior cancer screening in the black population. 4 cm in size (RR 1.13, P.

CANCER RESEARCH: NTU discovery may help cardiovascular, cancer experiments

http://tumormarkers.blogspot.com/2008/01/ntu-discovery-may-help-cardiovascular.html

NTU discovery may help cardiovascular, cancer experiments. A research team at National Taiwan University (NTU) has discovered a gene that curbs liver cancer metastasis and another that triggers coronary artery disease, the team's instructor said yesterday. Lin said the team's discovery would help in developing new medicine and designing clinical experiments for liver cancer and cardiovascular disease. In addition, the team found that the thromboxane A2 gene, or TXA2, causes coronary artery narrowing....
