Abstract
Background: To evaluate the prognostic value of blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio (BUN/SCr) and cystatin C (Cys C) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after radical nephrectomy.
Methods: The study analysed 348 patients with RCC who underwent radical nephrectomy. The optimal cut-off was obtained based on the ROC of specific survival outcomes and the maximum Youden index. The patients were divided into four groups: Group 1 (low BUN/SCr-low Cys C), Group 2 (low BUN/SCr-high Cys C), Group 3 (high BUN/SCr-low Cys C), and Group 4 (high BUN/SCr-high Cys C). The primary endpoint was cancer-specific survival (CSS), and the secondary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS).

evaluation of diagnostic markers,
new reagents and laboratory equipment,
reference materials and methods,
reference values,
laboratory organization,
automation,
quality control,
clinical metrology,
all related scientific disciplines where chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and immunochemistry deal with the study of normal and pathologic processes in human beings.
