Diagnostic Value of Plasma Cystatin C as a Glomerular Filtration Marker in Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis

Plasma creatinine concentration and calculated creatinine clearance are of limited value as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) markers in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. We assessed plasma cystatin C as an indicator of GFR in such patients. We studied 36 patients with decompensated liver...
