Description
Summary:Abstract Study Objective To evaluate the correlation between serum cystatin levels and clinical parameters in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Design, Setting, Participants, Interventions, and Main Outcome Measures This prospective case-control study included 89 adolescents with PCOS. Demographic characteristics and hormonal and biochemical parameters were compared between study (89 patients with PCOS) and control (84 subjects without PCOS) groups. Risk factors recorded were age, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), Ferriman–Gallwey score, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, cystatin C, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance index, free testosterone, and progesterone levels. Results BMI, WHR, Ferriman–Gallwey score, and triglyceride, LDL, total cholesterol, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, free testosterone, luteinizing hormone, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and cystatin C levels, and homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance index scores were significantly higher, and high-density lipoprotein levels were lower in the PCOS patients compared with healthy subjects ( P
