Cystatin C, kidney function, and cardiovascular risk factors in primary hypertension

Abstract: Cystatin C can be used as a screening marker both for detecting mild declines of renal function and for preventing the risk of cardiovascular events in hypertensive subjects with presumably normal renal function.

“…The level of this protein was tens of times higher in CKD patients than CVD patients. The abundance of cysC, a well-known marker of renal failure [ 13 ], was increased in the plasma of CVD patients compared to HVs (fold change of 1.53 in the ELISA). However, the accumulation of cysC in the plasma of the CKD3-4 and CKD5 patients was several times greater.…”

“…The findings of this study indicate that the GFR estimated by cystatin C has a strong association with CIMT, unlike the glomerular filtration rate estimated using the serum creatinine. Several studies have pointed out that cystatin C shows a stronger association to creatinine in the occurrence of cardiovascular events and mortality [ 37 , 38 ], because cystatin C is involved in protein catabolism, inhibiting elastolytic proteases, which are increased in degenerative and inflammatory processes, such as atherosclerosis, which may work as a direct marker of the atherogenic process [ 39 ].…”

“…В более ранних исследованиях установлено, что значительное повышение содержания цистатина С может быть информативно уже на ранних стадиях дисфункции почек [22]. Кроме того, данные метаанализов и других целенаправленно проведенных исследований свидетельствуют, что содержание цистатина С в плазме крови служит прогностическим фактором увеличения суммарного риска развития сердечно-сосудистых осложнений [23,24]. Это вполне согласуется с результатами нашей работы, так как в группе пациентов с ХБП и атеросклерозом сонных артерий рост уровня цистатина С сопровождался статистически значимым увеличением ИМТ, систолического и центрального АД, что соответствует также данным других исследований [25].…”
