SERUM CYSTATIN-C

Cystatin C, a naturally occurring protein produced by the body’s cells, serves as a vital indicator of kidney function. The optimal level of cystatin C in the blood is maintained by healthy kidneys, and elevated levels may signal potential kidney dysfunction. While healthcare providers commonly assess kidney function through creatinine-based tests for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Hypro Diagnostics recognizes the value of a dedicated cystatin C blood test in certain situations. This alternative approach proves beneficial when factors like age and gender need careful consideration. The cystatin C blood test offered by Hypro Diagnostics becomes particularly valuable in situations where creatinine levels may be influenced by factors unrelated to kidney function, ensuring a more precise evaluation of renal health.
