A GFR marker independent of muscle mass — useful when creatinine misleads (extremes of body composition, cirrhosis).
Cystatin C is produced by all nucleated cells and filtered freely — its serum level estimates GFR without muscle-mass bias. Cystatin-based eGFR helps confirm CKD when creatinine is ambiguous, in sarcopenia, amputees, and liver disease. The Cystatin C eGFR calculator applies the formulas.
The most measured kidney blood test — a muscle-waste product filtered by the glomeruli, interpreted with eGFR.
A calculated value estimating the rate at which kidneys filter blood, used to diagnose and stage chronic kidney disease.
The volume of plasma filtered by the glomeruli per minute — the best overall measure of kidney function.
