Potential Biomarker for PD Progression

[House2]

Cys-C was associated with higher NfL levels and a remarkably faster motor progression in PD independently from peripheral inflammation.

Cystatin C is a protein that is produced by the cells in your body. When kidneys are working well, they keep the level of cystatin C in your blood just right. If the level of cystatin C in your blood is too high, it may mean that your kidneys are not working well.

So... drink plenty of water?

I think the Cys-C finding in PD is independent of kidney function.
