Cystatin-C Blood Test
Item # LC121251
A highly sensitive marker for kidney function
Cystatin-C is a blood marker of kidney function. This blood test may help predict the development of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.
|
Cystatin-C is mainly used as a biomarker of kidney function. It has also been suggested that cystatin-C might predict the risk of developing chronic kidney disease, thereby signaling a state of 'preclinical' kidney dysfunction. Recently, it has been studied for its role in predicting new-onset cardiovascular disease and also seems to play a role in brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Instructions An 8 to 12 hour fast is required for this blood test. However, drink plenty of water and take your medications as prescribed. |
