  3. 7. Validation of a method for analyzing urinary Cystatin C and analysis of ULSAM-77 urine samples

    University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Johan Härmä; [2012]
    Keywords : acute kidney injury; biomarker; human; mindray bs-380; particle enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay;

    Abstract : Objective New biomarkers for acute kidney injury are needed and urinary Cystatin C is one alternative. The objective was to validate a urinary Cystatin C method on Mindray BS-380 comparing urine samples from the Uppsala Longitudinal Study of Adult Men (ULSAM-77) and urine samples from a reference group for Cystatin C.

  4. 8. Measurement and validation of urinary cystatin C by particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay on Architect ci8200

    University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Feria Hikmet Noraddin; [2011]
    Keywords : avian antibodies; cystatin C; method validation; particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay; urine;

    Abstract : Cystatin C, a 13 kDa low molecular weight protein is an inhibitor of cysteine proteases. Due to its low molecular weight and positive charge at physiological pH, it is freely filtered by the glomerulus and catabolized after reabsorption by proximal tubular cells with a low concentration (0.03-0.3 mg/L) in urine amongst healthy subjects.

  5. 9. Validation of Abbott Diagnostics turbidimetric cystatin C assay and enzymatic creatinine assay using the Architect c8000 analyzer

    University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Susanne Dehmer; [2009]
    Keywords : chronic kidney disease; kidney function; glomerular filtration rate; immunoassay; correlation studies;

    Abstract : Objective: Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of chronic kidney disease. Today creatinine is the most frequently used marker for kidney function though several studies indicate that cystatin C is a superior marker. READ MORE

  6. 10. Njurfunktion hos hypertyreoida katter : en jämförelse mellan serumkreatinin och serumcystatin C

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Helena Sixtensdotter Sandberg; [2008]
    Keywords : hypertyreoidism; katt; serumkreatinin; serumcystatin C; cystatin C; S-cys C;

    Abstract : Hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney failure (CKD) are common diseases in older cats. It can be difficult to evaluate kidney function in cats suffering from both conditions simultaneously. In the daily clinic serum creatinine is the analysis of choice when evaluating kidney function and secondary glomerular filtration rate (GFR). READ MORE
