Determination of glomerular filtration rate using cystatin C in healthy Nigerian newborns

Abstract: Background: The value of Cystatin C as a biomarker of Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) among African newborns is unknown, due to paucity of studies, restricting the measurement of GFR in this population of newborns to creatinine clearance despite its limitations. This study was therefore conducted to estimate GFR from serum Cystatin C in a population of Nigerian newborns and explored the relationship with anthropometrics. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, analytical study. A total of 60 healthy preterm and … Show more
