eGFR (Cystatin C-based)
Estimate of glomerular filtration rate derived from cystatin C; generally less influenced by muscle mass than creatinine-based estimates, although other factors can affect cystatin C.
What is measured?
An estimate of glomerular filtration rate calculated from cystatin C and demographic inputs used by the laboratory equation.
What the result represents?
Aden's range
What a raised or a low result can indicate
How Aden reads it as part of a system?
Aden reads this result alongside ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin and your previous measurements. It is treated as one part of the wider liver & kidney picture, not as a diagnosis on its own.
What changes between tests?
Which related markers give it context?
ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin
How to get this tested?
