According to the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines, 5, 6 calculating cystatin C-based eGFR may confirm the diagnosis of a decreased creatinine-based eGFR, and therefore ...
The accuracy of estimation of kidney function with the use of routine metabolic tests, such as measurement of the serum creatinine level, has been controversial. The European Kidney Function ...
Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...
Boston, MA - A new study suggests that cystatin C, a serum measure of renal function, is a stronger predictor of the risk of death and cardiovascular events in elderly people than either creatinine or ...
