Cystatin C Associates with Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Events
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Cystatin C is a serin protease inhibitor and secreted from all nucleated cells in the body. The present study was performed to evaluate the association of serum cystatin C level with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular events in 5 years follow up period. Method and materials: This study was consisted up 187 patients at the beginning of the study. After 5 years, 154 patients were re-evaluated and 33 were missed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the absence and presence of cardiovascular events as Group A and B. Initial metabolic and biochemical parameters were analyzed. Metabolic syndrome compounds were evaluated. Estimated glomerular filtration rate based on serum creatinine and cystatin C were calculated. Results: Mean cystatin C level was 0.70 ± 0.18 mg/ml in group A and 0.98 ± 0.40 mg/ml in Group B, (p<0.001). Estimated glomerular filtration rate based on creatinine and cystatin C values were statistically significant decreased in group B, (p<0.001). Metabolic syndrome was determined 42.5% of Group A and 87.8% of Group B, (p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis pointed out that serum creatinine and cystatin C based on glomerular filtration rate are independent risk factors for cardiovascular events. Conclusion: Initial serum cystatin C level and cystatin C based on glomerular filtration rate are independent risk factors for cardiovascular events.
