Serum Cystatin C Is a Determinant of Paraoxonase Activity in Hemodialyzed and Renal Transplanted Patients

Abstract: Abstract.Background: Human paraoxonase-1 (PON1) inhibits LDL-oxidation and atherogenesis, and possesses lactonase activity. Decreased PON1 activity was found in hemodialyzed and renal transplanted patients. Cystatin C plays a protective role in atherosclerosis, and is a new, sensitive marker of renal function. The relationship between these two markers in renal failure has not been investigated. Aims: The goal of this study was to clarify the relationship between PON1 activity, cystatin C and homocysteine in c… Show more

“…In a study with 74 hemodialized, 171 renal transplanted patients, and 110 healthy controls, a negative correlation was found between PON1 activity and cystatin C level [43]. Homocysteine level correlated negatively with PON1 activity, and positively with cystatin C level.…”

“…OxLDL and lipoperoxide levels were significantly higher in the renal patients. Cystatin C may be a good predictive factor for homocysteine levels but for the antioxidant status in patients with renal failure [42, 43]. …”

“…9 The activity of this enzyme is reduced in patients with enhanced atherosclerosis, in disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, in renal insufficiency and after renal transplantation, caused by elevated oxidative stress and disturbances of apolipoprotein metabolism. 10 Given that increased oxidative stress has been observed in patients with cardiovascular diseases, the use of nutritional antioxidants for the attenuation of atherosclerosis development has been suggested. 11 In fact, supplementation with antioxidant agents is reported to rescue renal epithelial cells from oxalate-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation and other toxic effects.…”

“…GGT, the principal enzyme responsible for extracellular catabolism of the antioxidant glutathione, has been reported to be involved in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, and elevated under oxidative stress conditions [24]. CysC, a 13-kDa endogenous cysteine proteinase inhibitor, has been found to be positively associated with proin ammatory cytokines c-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and marker of oxidative stress homocysteine levels, and negatively with antioxidant paraoxonase 1 activity across a variety of populations [25,26]. NLR, de ned as the neutrophil count divided by lymphocyte count, has recently been increasingly recognized as a marker of systemic in ammation [21].…”
