Role of serum cystatin C in the prediction of contrast-induced nephropathy after intra-arterial interventions.

CONCLUSIONS: SCysC is an appropriate biomarker to predict the occurrence of CIN. Baseline sCysC before an intervention is useful to obtain a preliminary estimate of the risk of CIN. A 48-h cut-off value of sCysC of 0.99 mg/L after an endovascular procedure may help to rule out patients at lower risk of CIN. PMID: 31977562 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
