The role of cystatin-C in the confirmation of reduced glomerular filtration rate among the oldest old

INTRODUCTION: Current guidelines suggest using cystatin-C to confirm a reduced creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR(cr)) when the latter is thought to be inaccurate. Older adults have reduced muscle mass, which may affect the accuracy of eGFR(cr). We evaluated the use of cysta...
