Cystatin C is not an unbiased marker of GFR
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 ...

Improved GFR estimates with a new model that incorporates both cystatin C and creatinine
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 ...

Updated CKD Guidelines Promote Cystatin C, Risk Equations, and SGLT2 Inhibitors
If cystatin C is not available, a creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) should be used to assess patients at risk for CKD. But if it is available, GFR should be estimated ...
