Background: Cystatin C has recently been shown to be associated with incident type 2 diabetes. This study aims to validate this association and to study the impact of baseline adiposity.

Methods: We investigated the 3-year diabetes incidence in 2849 participants from the French Data of an Epidemiological Study on the Insulin Resistance syndrome study, without overt kidney disease. Odds ratios (ORs) associated with cystatin C were adjusted for classical diabetes risk factors and interactions between cystatin C and these risk factors were studied.

Results: Baseline serum cystatin C was significantly associated with incident diabetes on univariate analysis (OR/1 SD of log cystatin C: 1.74; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.33-2.28; P=0.0001) and after adjustment for age and gender (OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.15-2.10; P=0.0039). This association was independent of serum creatinine-derived measures of baseline renal function and independent of fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c. When body mass index (BMI), waist circumference or baseline insulin resistance index were used as covariates, there was an interaction with cystatin C level. Cystatin C was associated only with incident diabetes for people with BMI, waist circumference or insulin resistance index≥median value with OR (95% CIs), respectively: 1.35 (0.98-1.84, P=0.0625); 1.39 (1.01-1.91, P=0.0441) and 1.41 (1.02-1.94, P=0.0398).

Conclusions: Cystatin C was associated with 3-year incident diabetes but only in people with central adiposity or insulin resistance. This should be considered in further studies assessing the clinical relevance of its prognostic value.

Background: Aging population is a significant issue in Viet Nam and across the globe. Elderly individuals are at higher risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those with diabetes. Several studies found that the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) determined using creatinine-based equations was not as accurate as that determined using cystatin C-based equations.

The Relationship Between Cr/CysC Levels and Short-Term Prognosis with Acute Ischemic Stroke: Findings from a Cohort Study.

World Neurosurg

December 2024

Department of Nursing, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, 230001, China; Department of Emergency, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, 230001, China.

Objective: Sarcopenia significantly impacts prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study investigates the relationship between serum creatinine/serum cystatin C (Cr/CysC) levels and short-term prognosis in AIS patients, aiming to inform post-treatment strategies.

Methods: We analyzed AIS patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China from January 2022 to January 2024.

In view of inconsistent reports on the association between chronic lead (Pb) exposure and renal injury markers (potential site of injury), the present systematic review explored their association by reviewing studies that investigated chronic Pb-exposed and those without obvious Pb exposure. Studies reporting blood Pb levels(BLL) and biomarkers of kidney injury [i.e.

Background: Psychiatric illness is thought to be a brain somatic crosstalk disorder. However, the existing phenomenology-based Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic framework overlooks various dimensions other than symptoms. In this study, we investigated the associations between peripheral blood test indexes with various symptom levels of major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), and schizophrenia (SCZ) to explore the availability of peripheral blood test indexes.

Background: Recent findings point to the key role of cathepsin S (CTSS) in the survival of malignant cells, as well as the significance of the anti-apoptotic properties of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that contribute to enhanced cell survival. The purpose of this study is to analyse CTSS as a potential biomarker in lymphoma. Also, in order to better understand the role of CTSS in the origin and development of lymphoma, its association with cystatin C (Cys C), lipids, and inflammatory markers was analysed.
