Generation of a New Cystatin C-Based Estimating Equation for Glomerular Filtration Rate by Use of 7 Assays Standardized to the International Calibrator.

Summary, in English

Many different cystatin C-based equations exist for estimating glomerular filtration rate. Major reasons for this are the previous lack of an international cystatin C calibrator and the nonequivalence of results from different cystatin C assays.
