Urinary Cystatin C as a Potential Risk Marker for Cardiovascular Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract

This study demonstrates that UCCR is significantly associated with renal dysfunction, the severity of MS, arterial stiffness, and weight change in obese patients. The data of this study suggest that U-CysC could serve as a CVD and CKD risk factor in patients with obesity and MS.
