Cystatin C Test: Early CKD Detection & Better eGFR

A practical guide to cystatin C testing for early CKD detection—what it is, why it outperforms creatinine in many cases, how combined eGFR (creatinine + cystatin C) sharpens staging, and which labs to order through Ulta Lab Tests and Quest Diagnostics.

Cystatin C kidney function testing is rapidly becoming the gold standard for early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD), providing a muscle‑independent, highly sensitive measure of glomerular filtration that often outperforms creatinine and BUN. In this in‑depth guide, […]
