Vitamin C is vital for the normal synthesis of collagen, L-carnitine, catecholamines, and proteins. This essential vitamin acts as a cofactor to the mixed-function oxidase enzymes that catalyze these ...
Adding the measurement of cystatin C to that of serum creatinine to determine the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improves accuracy, but the effect on detection, staging, and risk ...
Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...
