The clinical value of serum cystatin C in kidney assement of lung cancer / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To evaluate the serum levels of cystatin C (CysC)in lung cancer and its clinical significances for kidney assement.Methods The serum of 120 patients with lung cancer and 50 healthy controls were collected.All the patients were en-rolled in Beijing Chest Hospital,Capital Medical University,from June 2012 to October 2013.Full-automatic biochemistry analyzer was used to examine the levels of serum CysC.Results The level of serum CysC in patients with lung cancer was significantly higher than that of healthy controls(t = 4.771,P 0.05).Conclusion Serum CysC was a useful biochemistry marker for kidney assement in lung cancer,and have better clinical significances than BUN and Cr.
