Learn more about Cystatin C at ASN Kidney Week 2019
We look forward to exhibiting at ASN Kidney Week 2019 and we hope to see you in Washington, DC from November 7th to 9th to discuss cystatin C and kidney health. Visit us at booth #2133
The clinical value of cystatin C in diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases
- Cystatin C is a superior glomerular filtration rate (GFR) marker for the diagnosis and therapeutic control of renal function [1]
- The marker is independent of protein intake, gender, ethnicity, age* and muscle mass [2-5]
- Cystatin C is recommended by KDIGO and NICE [2,3]
Why Gentian Cystatin C Immunoassay?
- The Gentian Cystatin C Immunoassay (ERM-DA471/IFCC standardised) is an in vitro diagnostic test for quantitative determination of cystatin C in human serum and plasma
- FDA510 (k) cleared and CE-marked
- Avoids interference with rheumatoid factor [6
- The immunoassay is available for a wide range of clinical analysers with documented high inter instrument accuracy [7]
