Cystatin C: a promising marker and predictor of impaired renal function
2006
Annals of Clinical and Laboratory Science
Cystatin C is a relatively stable protein in serum and heparinized plasma that shows promise as a convenient measure of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, it is becoming clear that the relationship between cystatin C and GFR can depend on the clinical presentation. Factors influencing cystatin C levels are those that affect the rate of synthesis of the protein, such as thyroid status and the use of steroids. As with all laboratory tests, results should be interpreted in the light of the
