Cystatin C and long term risk of community-acquired sepsis: a population-based cohort study.
The researchers sought to determine the association between elevated baseline Cyst-C and long-term rates of community-acquired sepsis. They found that elevated Cyst-C is associated with increased long-term rates of community-acquired sepsis, independent of abnormal eGFR, ACR or hsCRP. Cyst-C may play a role in long-term sepsis risk prediction and prevention.
