AbstractRadiological calcified cerebral embolism (CCE) characteristics have been reported in small case series. Our aim was to describe clinical and radiological CCE characteristics in a large number of CCE and to compare characteristics between different patient groups. Characteristics of 79 stroke patients with CCE were analyzed retrospectively.

The estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is one main tool to detect renal disease. The most used biomarker remains serum creatinine and the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC ) equation is the most validated in Europe. More recently, cystatin C, has been proposed. We studied the performances of the EKFC equations in a large cohort of subjects according to their diabetic status.

Creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is imprecise at individual level, due to non-GFR-related serum creatinine determinants, including atypical muscle mass. Cystatin C has the advantage of being independent of muscle mass, a feature that led to the development of race- and sex-free equations. Yet, cystatin C–based equations do not perform better than creatinine-based equations for estimating GFR unless both variables are included together.
