Creatinine versus cystatin C for renal function-based mortality prediction in an elderly cohort: The Northern Manhattan Study

BACKGROUND: Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is routinely utilized as a measure of renal function. While creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcr) is widely used in clinical practice, the use of cystatin-C to estimate GFR (eGFRcys) has demonstrated superior risk prediction in various populations. Pr...
