Differences Between Cystatin C– and Creatinine-Based Estimated GFR—Early Evidence of a Clinical Marker for Frailty

Abstract: F railty is defined as a medical syndrome of multisystem dysregulation and is manifested as compromised resistance to stressors that increases vulnerability to dependence and mortality. 1 Although frailty was originally

“…With advanced age, and its highest level was within the older age groups (60-69 and >_ 70) years old, which is consistent with many studies [51,52], the study also agrees with [53],who stated that cystatin C levels rise in patients with diabetic nephropathy, especially in elderly people aging 65 and above with low GFR. The reason may be that after cystatin C is produced by all nucleated cells it is freely filtered by the renal glomeruli because of its low molecular weight, thereby any defect in the filtration process leads to a rise in its levels in the blood.…”
