CYS

Cystatin C is a protein produced by the body's nucleated cells. In the kidney's glomeruli (capillary network), cystatin C is eliminated by filtration.

Cystatin C value can be measured in order to get an estimate of kidney function. The value is not affected by age, gender and muscle mass or diet. A high value of cystatin C may indicate poorer kidney function, as it may mean that the kidneys are not filtering out cystatin C as they should.

Information

The markers of the kidney tests measure values of various kidney markers that can provide answers as to whether you have reduced kidney function. Get answers to your values - order and make an appointment for a blood test.
