title: [Cystatin C level is independently related to risk of unfavorable outcome after acute coronary syndrome in individuals with normal or moderately reduced renal function].
abstract: We studied relation between cystatin C level and risk of unfavorable outcome (unstable angina, fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI], fatal and nonfatal stroke, and death) in patients stabilized after exacerbation of ischemic heart disease. Patients (n=272) were included on day 10 after onset of acute coronary syndrome. No relationship between studied outcomes and cystatin was found in a group as a whole. In patients with normal of slightly reduced renal function (glomerular filtration rate more or equal 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) unfavorable outcomes were independently associated with history of myocardial infarction and stroke, elevated levels of brain natriuretic peptide and cystatin. In subjects with moderately or severely reduced renal function elevation of cystatin level lost its significance. Risk of development of unfavorable outcomes among these subjects was independently related to history of MI and GFR &lt;60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (OR 2.130, 95% CI 1.010-4,489; =0,047). Our data confirm possibility of use of cystatin C level measured early after ACS in patients with normal or slightly lowered renal function as a parameter characterizing risk of cardiovascular complications and death.
