Background: Serum cystatin C (CysC) is a more accurate glomerular filtration rate marker than serum creatinine (SCr) and may rise more quickly with acute kidney injury (AKI).
Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study of 81 non-critically ill children during 110 aminoglycoside (AG) treatments. We calculated area under the curve (AUC) for CysC to diagnose SCr-defined AKI and predict persistent AKI. SCr-AKI definition was based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (≥stage 1: ≥50 % or 26.5 μmol/l SCr rise from baseline; stage 2: SCr doubling); CysC-AKI was based on a modified version using CysC rise.
Results: SCr-AKI and CysC-AKI developed in 45 and 48 % treatments, respectively. CysC rise predicted stage 1 (AUC = 0.75, 95 % CI 0.60-0.90) and 2 (AUC = 0.85, 95 % CI 0.75-0.95) SCr-AKI 2 days before SCr-AKI attainment. The best combined sensitivity/specificity for percent CysC rise to predict stage 1 SCr-AKI was with a 44 % CysC rise (sensitivity = 65 %, specificity = 83 %). CysC rise on day of SCr-AKI development was associated with SCr-AKI ≥48 h (AUC = 0.73, 95 % CI 0.56-0.90) and ≥50 % persistent SCr rise at treatment end (AUC = 0.76, 95 % CI 0.61-0.90).
Conclusions: CysC is as an early AKI biomarker and predictive of persistent AKI on aminoglycoside treatment.

Role of Urinary Biomarkers (Transforming Growth Factor β1, Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin, and Cystatin C) as a Prognostic Factor of Renal Outcome in the Posterior Urethral Valve.

Background: The urinary biomarker response precedes the appearance of any renal structural or functional derangement. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), and Cystatin C (CysC) can act as the early prognostic markers in posterior urethral valve (PUV) patients.
Aim: To compare the urinary levels of TGF-β1, NGAL, and CysC between PUV cases and age matched controls and to correlate these with renal structural and functional parameters.

Objective: Serum creatinine (SCr) is not a sensitive and reliable index for the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury caused by contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). The aim of this study was to explore the values of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C (Cys-C) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the early diagnosis of CIN.
Methods: Three hundred patients receiving PCI from January 2018 to December 2020 were assigned to a CIN group (n=25) and a non-CIN group (n=275), respectively.

In recent decades, clinical research on early biomarkers of renal injury has been frequent and intensive, with proenkephalin (PENK) being indicated as a promising filtration biomarker (BM). From a cohort of 57 patients, blood samples were collected preoperatively and 48 h after liver transplantation (LT). The following BMs were analyzed: PENK, cystatin-C (CYS-C), and serum creatinine (Scr).

Whereas stem and progenitor cells proliferate to maintain tissue homeostasis, fully differentiated cells exit the cell cycle. How cell identity and cell-cycle state are coordinated during differentiation is still poorly understood. The Drosophila testis niche supports germline stem cells and somatic cyst stem cells (CySCs).
