Serum cystatin C: A useful marker of kidney function in very old people

In English

Författare

Summary, in English

Background: Serum creatinine-based estimates of GFR may be inaccurate in the elderly and there is need for improvement. Serum Cystatin C, not being influenced by muscle volume, may be more accurate. Material and methods: GFR was measured with plasma clearance of iohexol in 50 elderly persons aged >70 years. Blood tests were drawn for analysis of creatinine, albumin and urea. Cystatin C was analysed on frozen specimens using the Dade Behring method. GFR estimates based on cystatin C were compared to estimates based on serum creatinine, using earlier published equations. Results: Significant increase with age was found with cystatin C (rs = 0.62, p < 0.0001) and urea (rs = 0.43, p = 0.0018) but no correlation with creatinine (rs = 0.05, p = 0.7502). All equations underestimated GFR with a bias ranging from -2.2 to -31%. The equation with the greatest accuracy was the Hoek equation (Cystatin C based) with 98% of estimates within 30% of mGFR and confidence interval 89-100%. Estimated GFR using the MDRD Study equations (creatinine based) showed accuracy of 94% with 4 or 6 factors used. There was a gender difference with an accuracy higher among males (p < 0.002). The Cockcroft Gault equation was not found useful with high bias and a low accuracy. Conclusion: S-cystatin C seems a useful marker for kidney function in the elderly. Two equations based on serum cystatin C as well as the two MDRD equations seem adequate for estimating kidney function.
