Cystatin C
The Cystatin C test is a blood test used to assess kidney function and detect early stages of kidney disease. Cystatin C is a protein produced by all nucleated cells at a constant rate and filtered from the blood by the kidneys. Unlike creatinine, its levels are less influenced by age, gender, or muscle mass, making it a more accurate marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Elevated Cystatin C levels may indicate reduced kidney function, while normal levels suggest healthy kidney filtration. This test is particularly useful for patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes, or conditions affecting kidney performance, providing early detection and better risk assessment for kidney-related complications.Reports On : With 12 HoursSample Type : BloodFasting : Not Required Click Here…
