Cystatin C as a marker of renal function in patients with chronic intestinal failure on long-term parenteral nutrition

Rationale: The estimation of renal function parameters is inaccurate in Chronic Intestinal Failure (CIF) patients on parenteral nutrition (PN). The aim of the present study is to assess the reliability of 3 CKD-EPI GFR estimating equations (eGFR) (Creatinine, Cystatin C or combined Creatinine/Cystatin C) compared to the Iohexol plasma clearance (mGFR) in patients on long-term PN (> 6 months) due to CIF.
