Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and cystatin C are diagnostic markers of renal dysfunction in older patients with coronary artery disease

Abstract: ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C for renal dysfunction in older patients with coronary disease.MethodsA total of 84 older patients with coronary artery disease were included in this study. Serum NGAL and cystatin C levels were analysed using commercially available kits. Medical data of all patients were recorded and analysed.ResultsNGAL and cystatin C levels were significantly positively correlated with N-terminal… Show more

“…Early accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are very important to improve the prognosis of CRF patients. Previous diagnosis of CRF relied on serum creatinine (Scr), serum uric acid (SUA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and other renal function indexes, which often require kidney injury to account for more than half of the organ [4,5] and is adverse to clinical diagnosis.…”

“…However, both Cockcroft‐Gault estimation and creatinine‐based methods may be inaccurate in quantifying GFR, resulting in overestimation or underestimation of GFR 28 . Cystatin C in circulation is considered to be a good marker of renal function 29,30 . In people with normal EGFR, elevated cystatin C levels increase the risk of all‐cause death 31 .…”

“…The number of CIN-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) cases accounts for 11 percent of the total number of AKI cases. CIN refers to the iatrogenic renal function damage induced by contrast media, but it has elusive pathogenesis and no specific diagnosis or treatment method [1][2][3] . Early clinical diagnosis is the key to CIN prevention, which can significantly improve the prognosis of patients in combination with appropriate therapies.…”
