Serum Cystatin C as a Reliable Marker of Changes in Glomerular Filtration Rate in Children With Urinary Tract Malformations

Abstract

Cystatin C proved to be a superior marker rate over serum creatinine in estimating glomerular filtration in children younger than 3 years with UTMs and mild renal impairment, thus, offering a more specific and practical measure for monitoring GFR.
