Overestimation of glomerular filtration rate calculated from serum creatinine as compared with cystatin C in patients with subclinical hypercortisolism: Hyogo Adrenal Metabolic Registry.

In conclusion, dissociation between eGFRcre and eGFRcys was observed in patients with subclinical hypercortisolism at least partly explained by muscle mass. Our findings raise an important clinical point that eGFRcre value should be carefully evaluated even in the phase of subclinical hypercortisolism. PMID: 31969517 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
