血清Cys C的检测对肾移植术后患者肾功能评价的临床意义

探讨分析血清胱抑素C（Cys C）水平在肾移植术后患者肾功能监测中的应用价值.对25例肾移植成功患者在术前、术后第1、3、5、7、10天的血清Cys C、Scr、β2-MG、BUN水平进行动态监测,同时随机抽取健康体检者中的20例作为对照组.发现移植组的Cys C、Scr、β2-MG、BUN水平在术前均明显高于健康对照组（P＜0.01）.这四项指标在手术后第一天都有所下降,且术后第1、3、5、7、10天的水平都比术前低（P＜0.01）.四项指标与GFR的关系均为显著性负相关（P＜0.01）,其中血清Cys C与GFR的相关性最好.Cys C、Scr、β2-MG、BUN检测后的ROC曲线下面积分别是：0.937、0.838、0.798、0.772,其差异都具有统计学意义（P＜0.05）.血清Cys C优于Scr、β2-MG、BUN,在肾移植患者术后的动态监测中具有重要的临床应用价值.     

Body-image,quality of life and psychological distress: a comparison between kidney transplant patients and a matching healthy sample

The purpose of the current study was to assess the uniqueness of the condition of kidney transplant recipients in comparison to a sample of matching healthy peers in relation to body-image dissatisfaction and identification, quality of life and psychological distress. Participants were 45 kidney transplant recipients who were under follow-up care at a Transplant Unit of a major Medical Center, and a sample of 45 matching healthy peers. Measures were taken using self-report questionnaires [Body-Image Ideals Questionnaire (BIIQ), Body Identification Questionnaire (BIQ), Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI), and the SF-12]. The major findings were the following: (i) kidney transplant recipients reported lower levels of quality of life and higher levels of PsD when compared to their healthy peers; (ii) no difference in body-image dissatisfaction was found between the two studied groups; (iii) significant correlations between body-image dissatisfaction quality of life and PsD were found only in the kidney transplant recipients. The kidney transplantation condition has a moderating effect in the association between body-image dissatisfaction PsD but not in the association between body-image dissatisfaction and quality of life; (iv) kidney transplant recipients experienced higher levels of body identification than did their healthy peers. Taken together, these findings highlight the unique condition of kidney transplant recipients, as well as the function that body-image plays within the self.
