Abstract:	Timing to detect early stage of renal impairment is extremely important especially in the therapeutic management of complex illness. In acute condition, the absence of a reliable biomarker and the reliance on serum Cr (sCr) makes the diagnosis and consequently the institution of therapy markedly delayed. Recently, the research interest on serum CysC role in ICU-population has been stopped after the presumed association of CysC with inflammatory biomarkers in non-critical-ill patients. We retrospectively reviewed all laboratoristical data referral to 1000 patients (611 male, mean age 64,3) admitted in ICU or Post-Cardiac-Surgery-Intensive-Care-Unit (PCSICU). PCSICU population was submitted to extracorporeal circulation during cardiac surgical intervention. 3993 samples tested contemporaneously for sCr, CysC and C-Reactive-Protein (CRP) were selected. Renal replacement therapy and known thyreopathy were exclusion criteria. No correlation between CysC ...
