Abstract:
Objective To investigate the early diagnostic value of serum Cystatin C in the diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill children.Methods Ninety-eight children of the severe case patients' rooms were divided into two groups:33 cases were AKI,65 cases were NAKI.Cystatin C and SCr in blood serum were detected by immunoturbidimetry and enzymic method every day.And compared serum Cystatin C,SCr concentrate and median diagnosis time between the two groups.Results Thirty-three cases in 98 cases of critically ill children occurred the AKI,65 patients without AKI.Comparing with the NAKI,the Cystatin C of AKI patients were significantly higher ((2.68 ±0.86) mg/L vs (0.76 ±0.15) mg/L) and SCr ((209.21 ± 100.53 ) μmol/L vs (77.46 ± 8.11) μmol/L),the differences were statistically significant (t =10.55,17.56,P ＜0.001) ; Cystatin C was in positive correlation with SCr (r =0.874,P ＜ 0.001) ; Median diagnosis time of AKI-Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ stage with Cystatin C were (3.0 ± 2.5) d,(5.0 ± 3.0) d and (9.0 ± 4.0) d,respectively,which was earlier than that of SCr ((5.0 ± 2.0) d,(7.0 ± 2.5) d and (10.0 ± 3.0) d,respectively; t =4.39,2.29,3.16,respectively ;P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In the process of AKI,the level of serum Cystatin C elevated significantly earlier than SCr,so it could as be one of the early dynamic criteria in the critically ill children.
