Abstract

Plasma Cystatin C (CysC) is as an early functional marker for acute kidney
injury. Estimates of glomerular filtration rate using CysC (eGFRCysC) has been used in
some clinical setting. We evaluated the utility of CysC and eGFRCysC in diagnosing acute
kidney injury (AKI) and predicting death in critically ill patients with sepsis. (Copied from article).
