Cystatin C is a low-molecular-weight protein which has been proposed as a marker of renal
function that could replace creatinine. Indeed, the concentration of cystatin C is mainly …

Cystatin C (cys-C) is a small protein molecule (120 amino acid peptide chain, approximately
13kDa) produced by virtually all nucleated cells in the human body. It belongs to the family …

The association of cystatin C with renal function has been studied for more than 25 years.
Cystatin C has been described to have a better diagnostic performance than creatinine to …

Aims We aimed to compare coronary artery disease (CAD) at the time of a first acute
coronary syndrome (ACS) in type II diabetic and non-diabetic patients by coronary …

The observation of correlations between obesity and chronic metabolic and cardiovascular
diseases has led to the emergence of strong interests in “adipocyte biology”, in particular in …

Background. Recent research has shown cystatin C to predict mortality and cardiovascular
morbidity independent of renal function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic …

Background—The number of circulating blood monocytes impacts atherosclerotic lesion
size, and in mouse models, elevated levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol suppress …

Objective Cystatin C, which is an endogenous marker for renal function, is reported to be a
novel marker for coronary atherosclerosis. In this study, we aimed to evaluate its role in …

Background: This study examines whether the serum concentration of cystatin C (Cys C)
correlates with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and whether it provides …

Background This article aims to investigate the changes of plasma cystatin C concentration
(PcyC), and to evaluate the relationship between PcyC and acute coronary syndrome …
