Abstract Background Cystatin C is a novel biomarker to identify renal dysfunction and cardiovascular risk. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cystatin C in non-invasive risk prediction in a large cohort of patients with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH). Method We retrospectively analyzed pre-capillary PH patients with available cystatin C and hemodynamic data derived from right heart catheterization. Results A total of 398 consecutive patients with confirmed pre-capillary PH were recruited from Fuwai Hospital between November 2020 and November 2021. Over a median duration of 282 days, 72 (18.1%) of these patients experienced clinical worsening. Cystatin C levels significantly correlated with cardiac index (r = -0.286, P |
