Unlike creatinine, Cystatin C does not suffer from this \u2018blind area\u2019.&nbsp; Cystatin C is extremely sensitive to very small changes in GFR and is therefore capable of detecting early stage kidney dysfunction.&nbsp; Furthermore, Cystatin C is a particularly useful marker of renal function in patients where creatinine measurements are not suitable e.g. individuals who are obese, malnourished, have liver cirrhosis or reduced muscle mass.<\/p>\n<p>Cystatin C is a small (13 kDa) cysteine proteinase inhibitor that is produced at a constant rate by all nucleated cells. The small molecular weight of Cystatin C allows it to be completely removed and broken down by the kidneys, levels therefore remain steady if the kidneys are working efficiently and the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is normal. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>For more information please <link www.randox.com\/reagents\/cystatin-c _blank external-link-new-window>click here<\/link><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Email: <\/strong>\n<link marketing@randox.com>marketing@randox.com<\/link>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Supplier:<\/strong> Randox Laboratories Ltd.<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"avia-button avia-color-theme-color\" href=\"mailto:marketing@randox.com\">Mail the supplier<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that up to 50% of renal function can be lost before significant creatinine elevation occurs?
