This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted to clarify whether serum cystatin C levels might be associated with not only arterial stiffness, but also the pressure wave reflection, in middle-aged Japanese subjects with normal renal function or mild chronic kidney disease (CKD) (stage 1 or 2 CKD) (i.e., creatinine-based estimate of the glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcr) > or =60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) plus a result of the urine dipstick test for proteinuria of <1+).
