Purpose.We examined the association of CKD defined by serum creatinine, serum cystatin C, and albuminuria with moderate diabetic retinopathy (DR).Methods.We examined 1,119 Indian adults with diabetes, aged 40–80 years, who participated in the Singapore Indian Eye Study (2007–2009), a population-based cross-sectional study. The associations of CKD defined by each of the three markers alone and in combination with moderate DR were examined using logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounding factors including duration of diabetes, smoking, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and HbA1c.Results.The prevalence of moderate DR was significantly higher among those with CKD defined by triple markers (41.1%) compared to CKD defined separately by creatinine (26.6%), cystatin C (20.9%), and albuminuria (23.4%). People with CKD defined by triple markers had a fourteenfold higher odds of moderate DR (OR (95% CI) = 13.63 (6.08–30.54)) compared to those without CKD by any marker. Nearly half (48.7%) of participants with cystatin C ≥ 1.12 mg/L have moderate DR.Conclusions.CKD defined by a triple marker panel was strongly associated with moderate DR in this Asian population with diabetes.

ObjectiveSerum cystatin C (CysC) is a sensitive marker of kidney function and recent studies have shown that CysC plays a critical role in degenerative diseases in both the central and the peripheral nervous systems. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between serum CysC and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes.MethodsIn total, 937 type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Serum CysC concentration was measured by immunoturbidimetry. DPN was evaluated by neurological symptoms, neurological signs, neurothesiometer, and electromyogram.ResultsSerum CysC levels were significantly higher in DPN patients (1.3 (1.1–1.5) mg/l) compared with patients with signs of DPN (1.1 (0.9–1.3) mg/l, P<0.001) and non-DPN patients (1.0 (0.9–1.3) mg/l, P<0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that DPN was associated with age, diabetes duration, HbA1c, and serum CysC. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that serum CysC was closely related with age, sex, diabetes duration, hypertension, glomerular infiltration rate, and serum creatinine (Cr) level. The patients were divided into quartiles according to the serum CysC levels. Compared with quartile 1 (referent), the risk of DPN was significantly higher in quartile 2 (odds ratio (OR), 1.753; 95% CI, 1.055–2.912; P<0.05), quartile 3 (OR, 2.463; 95% CI, 1.445–4.917; P<0.01), and quartile 4 (OR, 5.867; 95% CI, 2.075–16.589; P<0.01). Receiver-operating characteristic analysis revealed that the optimal cutoff point of serum CysC to indicate DPN was 1.25 mg/l in male patients and 1.05 mg/l in female patients. High serum CysC level indicated a onefold higher risk of DPN.ConclusionsHigh serum CysC level is closely associated with DPN and may be a potential biomarker for DPN in type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract BACKGROUND The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation is most accurate for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) but requires an adjustment for African-American patients. Estimation equations are also improved with the use of serum cystatin C combined with standardized creatinine. Combination equations have been derived by the CKD-EPI and Chinese investigators. We investigated whether these cystatin C–based equations improve estimation adequately, so that adjustments for ethnicity are not required in a multiethnic Asian population with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of 232 stable CKD patients who underwent GFR measurements using 3-sample plasma clearances of 99mTc-DTPA, and for whom serum cystatin C and creatinine were quantified. RESULTS For all patients, the median biases with cystatin C equations were generally greater than with the CKD-EPI equation, and precision and root mean square error (RMSE) were not significantly better. However, the combination serum creatinine and cystatin C equation improved the precision, RMSE, and percentage of estimated GFR to within 15% and 30% of the measured GFR (57.3% vs 50.0%, 88.4% vs 82.8%, respectively). The derived ethnicity coefficients for the combination equation were all &gt;1 (1.009–1.082) but small, suggesting that coefficients are not required. The Chinese-specific equations were more biased and performed more poorly than the CKD-EPI equation. CONCLUSIONS The use of a cystatin C and creatinine combination equation for estimating GFR in a multiethnic Asian population with CKD does not require ethnicity coefficients because the derived coefficients are very close to each other.

Serum cystatin C (CysC) has been identified as a possible potential biomarker in a variety of diabetic complications, including diabetic peripheral neuropathy and peripheral artery disease. We aimed to examine the association between CysC and diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). 411 patients with T2D were enrolled in this cross-sectional study at a university hospital. Clinical manifestations and biochemical parameters were compared between DFU group and non-DFU group. The association between serum CysC and DFU was explored by binary logistic regression analysis. The cut point of CysC for DFU was also evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The prevalence of coronary artery disease, diabetic nephropathy (DN), and DFU dramatically increased with CysC (P<0.01) in CysC quartiles. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the significant risk factors for DFU were serum CysC, coronary artery disease, hypertension, insulin use, the differences between supine and sitting TcPO2, and hypertension. ROC curve analysis revealed that the cut point of CysC for DFU was 0.735 mg/L. Serum CysC levels correlated with DFU and severity of tissue loss. Our study results indicated that serum CysC was associated with a high prevalence of DFU in Chinese T2D subjects.
