Abstract:
Cystatin C is a cysteine protease inhibitor. It is widely found in the nucleated cells and body fluids of various tissues. It is a low molecular weight basic non-glycosylated protein. Previous studies have confirmed that cystatin C is an ideal endogenous marker reflecting early renal damage. Recent studies have shown that cystatin C is involved in the pathophysiological processes of a various cardiocerebrovascular diseases.This article reviews the correlation between cystatin C and cardiocerebralvascular diseases.
