Interest of cystatin C in screening diabetic patients for early impairment of renal function

We compared cystatin C, creatinine, and the Cockroft formula for assessment of early renal failure, defined as a 51Cr-EDTA clearance < 80 mL/min, in 89 diabetic patients with various degrees of renal impairment (glomerular filtration rate [GFR], 11.4 to 196.5 mL/min). The relationships between cy...
