Abstract EN
The role of cystatin C (Cys-C) in tumorigenesis and progression of bladder urothelial tumors (BUT) is still indefinite.
We retrospectively collected the clinical information from the records of 425 BUT patients.
Pretreatment serum Cys-C levels were compared across the various groups.
Then we subgroup the patients with GFR ≥ 90 mg/min/1.73 m2, to exclude the effects of lower renal function on cystatin C.
No statistically significant differences in the levels of serum Cys-C were found among the tumor characteristics (all P>0.05).
In conclusion, circulating Cys-C was not a reliable predictor for clinicopathological characteristics of BUT patients.
