Cystatin C is a protein produced by all cells in your body that is filtered by the kidneys; it’s considered a reliable marker of glomerular filtration less influenced by muscle mass or diet.
This test measures serum cystatin C and calculates eGFR, providing accurate insight into kidney function—especially useful in early detection of kidney disease, monitoring renal dysfunction, or evaluating borderline creatinine-based results.
