Correlation between prostate-specific antigen and four renal function-associated parameters in different ethnicities in southwest China.

In conclusion, the present study used data from a large population to reveal a generally significant and slightly positive correlation between tPSA and cystatin C levels among the 10 most common ethnicities in China. Subgroup analyses indicated that the tPSA level was moderately positively correlated with the creatinine level for the Mongolian and Yi ethnicities and the cystatin C level was moderately positively correlated with tPSA for the Mongolian ethnicity. Future studies are required to confirm and expand the present results. PMID: 33093881 [PubMed]
