Description

Hoek et al developed an equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for adults using cystatin C. The authors are from the University of Amsterdam.


 

Parameters:

(1) cystatin C in mg/L determined by a particle-enhanced immunonephelometric method (Dade-Behring) with a normal reference range of 0.5 to 0.96 mg/L.

 

estimated GFR in mL per min per 1.73 square m BSA =

= (80.35 / (cystatin C)) - 4.32

 

Performance:

• The reference GFR was determined by 125I-iothalamate.
