Cystatin C versus Creatinine in Determining Risk Based on Kidney Function

In this meta-analysis of 16 studies, investigators evaluated the use of cystatin C, alone or with creatinine, to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Measurement of cystatin C improved the prediction of outcomes in chronic kidney disease. The estimated glomerular filtration rat...
