Enhancing eGFR Estimation with Cystatin C and Creatinine for Predicting Outcomes

This chapter emphasizes the value of incorporating muscle mass when estimating eGFR by utilizing cystatin C and creatinine for more precise results. It underscores the predictive power of these markers as eGFR declines, and highlights tools like urine albumin-creatinine ratio and the kidney risk failure calculator for assessing kidney function and guiding nephrology referrals.
