Specialty: | Nephrology Clinical Laboratory |
Objective: | |
ICD-10: | |
Description: | Beta-trace protein (BTP) can be used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This may be particularly useful in renal transplant patients treated with corticosteroids, for whom cystatin C may not be reliable. |
