Abstract
Cystatin C continues to show its superiority over serum creatinine in predicting mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This superiority is, in part, due to the non-glomerular filtration rate (GFR) determinants of cystatin C associating with CKD risk factors and outcomes. The definition and classification of CKD should not exclusively equate cystatin C with GFR.Entities:
