Serum cystatin C reflects glomerular endotheliosis in normal, hypertensive and pre‐eclamptic pregnancies

Abstract

Serum cystatin C may be used as a marker, not only for impaired renal function, but also for the degree of glomerular endotheliosis and increase in glomerular volume in pregnancy. It may be of value in the monitoring of pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia.
