About this test

Has a previous kidney test shown a low or borderline eGFR, but you take creatine, train intensely, or have a high muscle mass?

Standard kidney tests usually estimate kidney function using creatinine, which can be affected by muscle mass, exercise, and creatine supplements. This advanced test uses cystatin C instead, giving you another estimate of how well your kidneys are working when a creatinine-based result may be misleading.
