Role of serum cystatin C in diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction

Objective:To explore the value of serum cystatin C(Cys C) in diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction(ACI). Methods:The serum level of Cys C,blood glucose and lipid in 60 cases of ACI and 40 healthy controls were detected,and a contrastive analysis was conducted.The relationship between the level of Cys C and the risk factors for cerebral infarction was analyzed. Results:The level of Cys C in the ACI group was higher than that in the healthy control group(P0.01).The serum level of Cys C was positively correlated with the blood glucose and the lipid. Conclusions:Serum Cys C combined with other factors participate in the genesis and development of cerebral infarction.Joint detection may be of help to the prediction,diagnosis and prognosis of ACI.
