  2. Cystatin C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystatin_C

    In this case, cystatin C-based estimates of GFR, eGFR cystatin C, will be lower than creatinine-based estimates eGFR creatinine, so that a hypothesized condition, named shrunken pore syndrome, is identified by a low eGFR cystatin C /eGFR creatinine-ratio. [medical citation needed] [55] This syndrome is associated with a very strong increase in ...

  3. Glomerular filtration rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerular_filtration_rate

    After filtration, Cystatin C is reabsorbed and catabolized by the tubular epithelial cells, with only small amounts excreted in the urine. Cystatin C levels are therefore measured not in the urine, but in the bloodstream. Equations have been developed linking estimated GFR to serum cystatin C levels. [16]

  4. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

    The Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is regarded as the best overall measure of the kidney's ability to carry out these numerous functions. An estimate of the GFR is used clinically to determine the degree of kidney impairment and to track the progression of the disease. The GFR, however, does not reveal the source of the kidney disease.

  5. Shrunken pore syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrunken_pore_syndrome

    Pores in one of the structures of the glomerular filtration barrier. Shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) is a kidney disorder described in 2015 in which the pores in the glomerular filtration barrier are hypothesized to have shrunken so that the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 5–30 kDa proteins, for example cystatin C, is selectively reduced compared to that of small molecules (less than 5 kDa ...

  6. Diabetic nephropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_nephropathy

    Cystatin C is a protein that is freely filtered in the glomeruli before it is reabsorbed and catabolized in the renal tubular cells. Its serum level is independent of muscle mass, making more accurate at estimating GFR than creatinine serum levels.
