Serum cystatin C unmasks renal dysfunction in cirrhosis and performs better in estimation of glomerular filtration rate

In this study, we aimed to measure glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) using 99Tc DTPA in patients with Child-Pugh C cirrhosis and normal serum creatinine levels; and to compare the performance of creatinine and cystatin C-based equations [estimated GFRs (eGFRs)] to 99TcDTPA GFR in the same group. We...
