Serum cystatin C levels are influenced by factors other than glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a retrospective analysis suggests. Serum concentration of cystatin C has been proposed as a more ...

Plasma cystatin C level might better reflect glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than creatinine concentration. Ma et al. have developed and tested a new equation to estimate GFR that uses cystatin C ...

Opens in a new tab or window Updated chronic kidney disease guidelines recommended including cystatin C with creatinine to estimate glomerular filtration rate. Point-of-care-testing for creatinine ...

Recommendations include more emphasis on the use of cystatin C for assessment of glomerular filtration rate; use of point-of-care testing in remote areas where laboratory access may be limited ...
