To determine the level of cystatin C (Cys-C) values in preterm babies for the purpose of becoming a good endogenous marker of renal function.
A total of 366 very low-birthweight infants (including 70 extremely low-birthweight babies) with gestational age <37 weeks born in two centres were studied.
In very low-birthweight infants, the mean level of Cys-C was 1.96 ± 0.44 mg/L in blood samples taken on day 1, 1.78 ± 0.49 mg/L on day 7 and 1.71 ± 0.47 mg/L on day 28. In extremely low-birthweight infants, the mean level of Cys-C was 2.00 ± 0.49 mg/L on day 1, 1.63 ± 0.38 mg/L on day 7 and 1.62 ± 0.55 mg/L on day 28, respectively. Compared to serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, Cys-C level was independent of birthweight and gestational age.
Cys-C is regarded as an alternative for assessing renal function in very low-birthweight infants, but its advantages over serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen has not been fully proved yet. Hence, larger sample study is still necessary.
测定早产儿胱抑素C(Cys-C)水平,以使其成为肾功能良好的内源性标志物。
对两个中心出生的366例胎龄<37周的极低出生体重儿(包括70例超低出生体重儿)进行研究。
在极低出生体重儿中,出生第1天采集的血样中Cys-C平均水平为1.96±0.44mg/L,第7天为1.78±0.49mg/L,第28天为1.71±0.47mg/L。在超低出生体重儿中,Cys-C平均水平第1天为2.00±0.49mg/L,第7天为1.63±0.38mg/L,第28天为1.62±0.55mg/L。与血清肌酐和血尿素氮相比,Cys-C水平与出生体重和胎龄无关。
Cys-C被视为评估极低出生体重儿肾功能的替代指标,但其相对于血清肌酐和血尿素氮的优势尚未得到充分证实。因此,仍有必要进行更大样本的研究。
