Higher Levels of Cystatin C Are Associated with Worse Cognitive Function in Older Adults with Chronic Kidney Disease: The Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Cognitive Study

Abstract: OBJECTIVES Cystatin C, a measure of kidney function, has been linked to cognitive impairment, but the association between cognition and levels of cystatin C in persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. DESIGN/SETTING/PARTICPANTS We studied 821 participants from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Cognitive Study with a baseline cognitive assessment completed at the same visit as serum cystatin C measurement. MEASUREMENTS Levels of serum cystatin C were categorized into tertiles; cognitive fu… Show more

“…4,5 Given this cerebrovascular disease burden, it is not surprising that cognitive impairment is common in individuals with CKD, particularly in older adults. 610 Many of the studies exploring the association between CKD and cognitive function relied on omnibus cognitive screening instruments rather than more detailed neurocognitive testing, lacked brain imaging, or did not have concurrent ascertainment of cognitive functioning and both kidney disease markers. 1114 One study using a cognitive screening test noted that, when eGFR was preserved, albuminuria was associated independently with incident cognitive impairment, while, when albuminuria was minimal, low eGFR was associated independently with cognitive impairment.…”

“…In individuals with CKD, higher serum cystatin C levels were associated with worse cognition, incident cognitive decline and cognitive and physical disability . Moreover, the cognition decline induced by cystatin C may be independent of eGFR . High cystatin C levels were associated with poor global cognition and higher white matter deficits in the anterior limb of the internal capsule .…”

“…112,113 Moreover, the cognition decline induced by cystatin C may be independent of eGFR. 114 High cystatin C levels were associated with poor global cognition and higher white matter deficits in the anterior limb of the internal capsule. 115 Several lines of evidence also support a role for cystatin C in the neurodegenerative pathways associated with amyloid plaque formation, as demonstrated by its colocalization with -amyloid in brain tissue and a high correlation with the beta-amyloid and tau levels in the cerebrospinal fluid.…”
