Although cystatin C is a measure of renal function, whether its association with cognitive impairment is due to decreased renal function or to other mechanisms is unclear.
The secondary outcomes included the best cutoff value of CRP and PCT levels in patients with impaired renal function, the association between CRP and PCT levels and infection severity in patients with impaired renal function, and the association between CRP and PCT levels and renal function in the absence of infection.
CONCLUSIONS: Early recovery of renal function is associated with improved long-term survival after CSA-AKI.
Worsening renal function was associated with a higher risk of subsequent cardiovascular events and bleeding.
We could consider that renal function impairment is associated with HF, which would then affect the FABP4 levels; however, when these concentrations were adjusted to take the renal function parameters into account, the associations remained significant.
Second, for measuring the strength of a covariate's association with renal function changes during follow-up, we applied a joint longitudinal-survival model (described in detail in the Supplementary Data).
We found an association between the A-20C polymorphism and increased risk of renal function decline and no association with the other angiotensinogen polymorphism in our population.
The presence of concurrently impaired renal function amplified these associations.
There are, however, conflicting data on the association between HRQOL and renal function itself, especially among patients with mild-to-moderate renal dysfunction.
In patients with normal renal function, CABG was not associated with survival benefit over PCI.
To investigate the relative associations of renal function, obesity, and inflammation with serum leptin levels in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
