Regarding the use of cystatin C for determination of GFR, I had a chat to a
woman standing next to a poster at the AACC a couple of weeks ago. It was
the poster from abstract 258 in Clin Chem, 45, number 6, Supplement, 1999
concerning the use of cystatin C for this purpose. My memory tells me that
the author told me they were using it in children but not adults, but as I
review the abstract I wonder if I heard her correctly...
A call to Antwerp may help.
