Cystatin C - a Novel Serum Marker for GFR

• Kidney monitoring• GFR, Glomerular Filtration Rate• Traditionally with Creatinine measurement• NEW MARKER – CYSTATIN C

• Why Cystatin C together or instead of Creatinine?• Specificity

• Creatinine is affected by age/sex/muscle mass/inflammatory process

• Cystatin C test is not dependent of any listed issues• Sensitivity

• Creatinine measurement is able to detect kidney dysfunction when app. 50% of kidney mass is ‘non-working’

• Cystatin C test has the sensitivity to detect already mild renal dysfunction

• Other highlights• Elevated serum Cystatin C is a strong predictor of the risk of

death and cardiovascular events in elderly persons

Classification of Lipids

• Synthesized in liver• 10% coming from dietary intake

• Transported in complexes known as lipoproteins• Clinical interest in HDL and LDL Cholesterol

Lipoproteins

• Apolipoprotein A-I/II => HDL: “good cholesterol”

• Apolipoprotein B => LDL: “bad cholesterol”

• Lipoprotein(a) = LDL- molecule + Apolipoprotein (a)

10

Lipoprotein(a)

• A powerful predictor for development of atherosclerotic vascular disease

• Lipoprotein(a) is a dimer consisting of LDL molecule bound to Apo(a) via a disulphide bridge

• Lp(a) is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) that is independent of all other lipid parameters

• Lp(a) is a special tool for doctors• The CHD risk predictor is high, especially

when Lp(a) and LDL are elevated simultaneously => lipid lowering therapy recommended

Lipoprotein(a) – a ’killer molecule’

11

Lipoprotein(a) on Konelab Systems

• Easy and reliable assays• Ready for use liquid reagents

• Method: direct immunoturbidimetry• Kit size 1 x 1 ml, up to 180 tests• 981915 Lipoprotein(a)

• One level stock calibrator• Ready for use liquid• Automatic dilutions for calibration curve• 981916 Lipoprotein(a) Calibrator, 2 x 1 ml

Ceruloplasmin

• Ceruloplasmin measurement aids to diagnose copper metabolism disorders

• Ceruloplasmin is the major copper–containing protein in plasma

• When is the Ceruloplasmin level abnormal?• Decreased levels

• disorders of copper metabolism like Menke’s disease and Wilson’s disease

• Elevated levels• During pregnancy• With lymphoma• In acute and chronic infections (acute phase protein)• Rheumatoid arthritis
