Abstract :

Liver cirrhosis (LC) is often accompanied by functional renal failure. The mortality was significantly greater in LC patients with creatinine clearance less than 50 ml/min. Indicators of moderately impaired renal function are of great clinical importance. Serum creatinine concentration, the best establish simple parameter of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), has some disadvantages: its concentration depends on sex and muscle mass and shows marked increases only at severely reduced creatinine clearance values. Cystatin C has recently been suggested as a sensitive marker of GFR and as early indicator of impaired renal function. Cystatin C serum concentration appears to be independent of sex and muscle mass. The determination of cystatin C is not affected by billirubun or haemolysis. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between GFR (based on cystatin C levels) and hepatic index in patients with LC at Dr. Soetomo Hospital.This study used cross-sectional design, involving population of liver cirrhosis patients who had eligible inclusion and exclusion criteria. It was found that GFR (based on cystatin C levels) in patients with LC with mild hepatic failure is 60.625 ± 17.631, moderate hepatic failure is 50.231 ± 12.029, and severe hepatic failure 16.960 ± 8.438. There was a strong negative correlation between GFR (based on cystatin C levels) and hepatic index based on score levels (r -0.646; 0.0001) and based on stadium levels (r -0.636; p 0.001) in LC patients. In conclusion, based on cystatin C serum level, GFR in patients LC with mild hepatic failure higher than those in moderate hepatic failure and severe hepatic failure. GFR does not play a major role in determining hepatic index. Nevertheless, GFR in patients LC with mild hepatic failure higher than those in moderate hepatic failure and severe hepatic failure.
