Cystatin C versus creatinine-based GFR formula in CKD patients

Introduction. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is the main tool to assess kidney function. Some experts suggest cystatin C as a more precise and accurate indicator than creatinine to calculate GFR. This study is designed to assess if cystatin C is more helpful in early diagnosis and better follow-up...

Description
Summary:Introduction. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is the main tool to assess kidney function. Some experts suggest cystatin C as a more precise and accurate indicator than creatinine to calculate GFR. This study is designed to assess if cystatin C is more helpful in early diagnosis and better follow-up of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients who may benefit more from appropriate and timely management.
