Is serum cystatin C independently associated with renal impairment and high sensitivity C-reactive protein in systemic lupus erythematosus?
In SLE, sCysC may be influenced by low grade inﬂammation as well as by renal dysfunction. Therefore, SCysC should not supplant current assessment of renal dysfunction in SLE.
A low ADC value at 1 month after RFA is associated with an early local recurrence of HCC. This study does not confirm that such association exists for hepatic metastases.
