MIGUEL MORALES, Maydelin; AGRAMONTE LLANES, Olga M; URRUTIA FEBLES, Yaima  e  FUNDORA CEDENO, Maydí. Cystatin C: early laboratory marker of renal disease In sickle cell disease. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.2, pp. 125-130. ISSN 1561-2996.

Renal disease in patients with sickle cell disease is a consequence of its complex pathophysiological process, so it is important to have a set of laboratory parameters that, together with the clinical evaluation, allow the early detection of this complication. Cystatin C has been shown to be one of the parameters that provides, with greater accuracy, early evidence of kidney damage in this group of patients and at the same time constitutes a possible indicator of prognosis of great importance.

Palavras-chave : cystatin C; glomerular filtration rate (GFR); chronic renal failure (CRF); sickle cell disease.
