Background: It has been suggested that serum cystatin C (cyst-C) concentration provides a better indication of changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than does serum creatinine concentration. Methods: Because of conflicting results as to the usefulness of cyst-C, we compared the GFRs calculated from serum cyst-C, inulin clearance and endogenous creatinine clearance in children. GFRs calculated from cystatin concentration, inulin clearance following a single injection and endogenous creatinine clearance using Jaffé and enzymic methods were compared in 66 children (1·3-21·9 years) with a variety of renal disorders. Receiver operating curve analysis was used to determine the cut-off value that would give the best discrimination between normal and decreased GFR. Results: The serum cyst-C concentration ranged from 0·66 to 7·61 mg/L (median 1·94). Serum creatinine Jaffé concentration (creat-J) ranged from 38 to 871 µmol/L (median 105) and creatinine enzymatic concentration (creat-E) ranged from 28 to 862 µmol/L (median 126). The linear correlation coefficient ( R) of 1/cyst-C versus GFR ( R = 0·937) did not differ from either that of 1/creat-J versus GFR ( R = 0·918) or that of 1/creat-E versus GFR ( R = 0·901). These coefficients had overlapping confidence intervals. The areas under the curve for cyst-C, creat-J and creat-E were 0·967, 0·977 and 0·924, respectively, and were not significantly different from each other. For cyst-C, the optimal cut-off was 1·1 mg/L. Conclusions: Serum cyst-C is equivalent to creat-J and creat-E as a marker for estimating the GFR in the paediatric population studied.

The development of renal dysfunction in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is due to the presence and severity of autoimmune disorders, chronic systemic inflammation, a multiplicity of comorbid conditions, and pharmacotherapy features. The most important parameter that describes the general condition of the kidneys is glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This review presents the data on the possibilities of modern methods for determining estimated GFR (e-GFR) and the specificity of their use in various clinical situations that accompany the course of RA. For the initial assessment of GFR in patients with RA it is advisable to use the measurement of e-GFR based on serum creatinine concentration using the CKD-EPI equation (2009) (with or without indexing by body surface area). In cases where the e-GFR equations are not reliable enough or the results of this test are insufficient for clinical decision making, the serum cystatin C level should be measured and the combined GFR calculation based on creatinine and cystatin C should be used.

AbstractGlomerular filtration rate (GFR) is difficult to measure, and estimating formulas are notorious for lacking precision. This study aims to assess if the inclusion of additional biomarkers improves the performance of eGFR formulas. A hundred and sixteen children with renal diseases were enrolled. Data for age, weight, height, inulin clearance (iGFR), serum creatinine, cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), parathyroid hormone (PTH), albumin, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were collected. These variables were added to the revised and combined (serum creatinine and cystatin C) Schwartz formulas, and the quadratic and combined quadratic formulas. We calculated the adjusted r-square (r2) in relation to iGFR and tested the improvement in variance explained by means of the likelihood ratio test. The combined Schwartz and the combined quadratic formulas yielded best results with an r2 of 0.676 and 0.730, respectively. The addition of BNP and PTH to the combined Schwartz and quadratic formulas improved the variance slightly. NGAL and albumin failed to improve the prediction of GFR further. These study results also confirm that the addition of cystatin C improves the performance of estimating GFR formulas, in particular the Schwartz formula.Conclusion: The addition of serum NGAL, BNP, PTH, and albumin to the combined Schwartz and quadratic formulas for estimating GFR did not improve GFR prediction in our population. What is Known:• Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) formulas include serum creatinine and/or cystatin C but lack precision when compared to measured GFR.• The serum concentrations of some biological parameters such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), parathyroid hormone (PTH), albumin, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) vary with the level of renal function. What is New:• The addition of BNP and PTH to the combined quadratic formula improved its performance only slightly. NGAL and albumin failed to improve the prediction of GFR further.
