Know more about this test

The Cystatin C Test is a blood test that measures the level of cystatin C, a protein produced by all body cells and excreted by the kidneys. This test helps doctors see how well your kidneys are working, especially if other tests like creatinine are unreliable. It is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Kolkata.

The Cystatin C Test test is often ordered when a doctor suspects kidney problems, but the typical kidney tests, such as creatinine or creatinine clearance, may not provide a clear picture. It is also done when there are symptoms indicating kidney issues, such as fatigue, swollen ankles, feet, and hands, changes in urine output, unexplained weight loss, etc., or if there are risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, or a family history of kidney disease. It can also be used to monitor kidney function in individuals undergoing treatments that may affect the kidneys.

No special preparation is required for the Cystatin C Test. Eat and drink as per the daily routine.

What does Cystatin C Test measure?

The Cystatin C Test test measures the amount of cystatin C. It is a protein produced by all nucleated cells in the body. The kidneys filter cystatin C from the blood. Its level in the blood can help estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a key indicator of kidney health. Higher than normal levels of cystatin C suggest that the kidneys are not filtering the protein efficiently. This indicates potential kidney dysfunction. This test is more sensitive than creatinine for detecting early kidney disease. It is especially useful for patients with unusual body types (such as those who are malnourished, practice a vegetarian diet, have amputated limbs, or have reduced muscle mass) or those at higher risk for kidney problems.
