Creatinine clearance versus serum creatinine as a risk factor in cardiac surgery [PDF]
BMC Surgery, 2003 Background Renal impairment is one of the predictors of mortality in cardiac surgery. Usually a binarized value of serum creatinine is used to assess the renal function in risk models.

Estimation of the glomerular filtration rate – comparison between serum creatinine, cystatin c and calculated creatinine clearance [PDF]
Zdravniški Vestnik, 2006 Background: With increasing emphasis on the earlier detection and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has assumed greater importance.

Clinical Usefulness of Serum Cystatin C as a Marker of Renal Function [PDF]
Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2014 BackgroundAccurate renal function measurements are important in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. In contrast to creatinine, the production of serum cystatin C has been extensively reported to be unaffected by body muscle mass, age, gender,

Estimated glomerular filtration rate correlates poorly with four-hour creatinine clearance in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction. RIFLE and AKIN provide a standardised classification of acute kidney injury (AKI), but their categorical rather than continuous nature restricts their use to a research tool. A more accurate real-time description of renal function in AKI is

The eGFR-C study: accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation using creatinine and cystatin C and albuminuria for monitoring disease progression in patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease - prospective longitudinal study in a multiethnic population [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Uncertainty exists regarding the optimal method to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for disease detection and monitoring. Widely used GFR estimates have not been validated in British ethnic minority populations.

Salivary creatinine as a diagnostic tool for evaluating patients with chronic kidney disease
BMC Nephrology, 2019 Background Preliminary studies have shown the potential use of salivary creatinine concentration in the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). For saliva to replace serum as a diagnostic tool, studies must be done to determine its effectiveness in ...

N-acetylcysteine in the prevention of radiocontrast-induced nephropathy: clinical trials and end points [PDF]
, 2004 N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been suggested to prevent radiocontrast-induced nephropathy (RCIN) in patients with a reduced renal function. However, clinical studies have not been demonstrating this effect consistently.
