Gestational and Age-Specific Cystatin C Reference Intervals for Newborns
Conclusion Reference levels of serum CysC should be determined according to the PA and GA. In contrast to Cr, serum CysC is a reliable index for assessing renal function in neonates as it is influenced by very few factors. The CysC reference levels will allow neonatologists to accurately evaluate renal function in the neonatal population.
