Understanding Cystatin C: A Key to Kidney Health

Thanks coach Stephen! You are a wealth of information. Keep uploading these videos, please. Good things to know!

Supposedly, the most accurate estimating GFR formula uses both creatinine and cystatin-C, not cystatin-C alone. I happen to be in that group that has around 50 eGFR with creatinine and 80 with cystatin-c....so around 65 average, which ain't great.

I wonder why is my creatinin keep getting high while I’m skinny person but my cystain C is 0.89

Because of my diet, using creatinine to calculate eGFR isn't reliable. Cystatin C is the way to go! :)
