To evaluate the diagnostic significance of serum cystatin C levels in clinical practice.
Serum (99m)Tc-DTPA clearance was compared with serum cystatin C, creatinine, beta(2)-microglobulin levels and creatinine clearance in a group of patients aged 42.61 +/- 7.55 years with glomerular filtration rates of 10-60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (n = 52) and healthy controls aged 43.90 +/- 12.06 years (n = 52).
No effect of sex on serum cystatin C levels was observed, but average levels increased with age. No significant difference was evident between the mean cystatin C levels of three blood samples taken at 1 month intervals from healthy subjects. Reference clearance was correlated with creatinine clearance (r = 0.957), cystatin C (r = 0.828), beta(2)-microglobulin (r = 0.767) and creatinine (r = 0.682). 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) was chosen as the borderline for receiver-operating characteristics analysis. The values for the cut-off point, sensitivity, specificity and the area under curve were determined for cystatin C as 1.36 mg/L, 98%, 99% and 0.99 +/- 00.1, respectively; for creatinine, the values were 103 micromol/L, 80%, 100% and 0.97 +/- 0.01, respectively, and for beta(2)-microglobulin, the values were 2.51 mg/L, 86%, 92% and 0.94 +/- 0.02, respectively.
Serum cystatin C level can be used as a marker for renal damage.
评估血清胱抑素C水平在临床实践中的诊断意义。
比较了一组年龄为42.61±7.55岁、肾小球滤过率为10 - 60 mL/min/1.73 m²(n = 52)的患者与年龄为43.90±12.06岁的健康对照者(n = 52)的血清(99m)Tc - DTPA清除率、血清胱抑素C、肌酐、β2 - 微球蛋白水平及肌酐清除率。
未观察到性别对血清胱抑素C水平有影响,但平均水平随年龄增长而升高。从健康受试者每隔1个月采集的三份血样的平均胱抑素C水平之间无显著差异。参考清除率与肌酐清除率(r = 0.957)、胱抑素C(r = 0.828)、β2 - 微球蛋白(r = 0.767)和肌酐(r = 0.682)相关。选择60 mL/min/1.73 m²作为受试者工作特征分析的临界值。胱抑素C的截断点、敏感性、特异性和曲线下面积值分别确定为1.36 mg/L、98%、99%和0.99±0.01;肌酐的相应值分别为103 μmol/L、80%、100%和0.97±0.01,β2 - 微球蛋白的相应值分别为2.51 mg/L、86%、92%和0.94±0.02。
血清胱抑素C水平可作为肾损伤的标志物。
