¿Cuál es el Nivel Normal de Cystatin C?
Rangos normales: Cystatin C 0.52–0.98 mg/L; eGFR (cystatin C) 90 or above (60–89 is mildly decreased). Valores fuera de estos rangos pueden indicar una condición que requiere evaluación adicional.
Tabla de Rangos de Referencia
| Marcador | Bajo | Normal | Alto |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cystatin C | Below 0.52 mg/L — rarely a concern | 0.52–0.98 mg/L | Above 0.98 mg/L — kidneys may be filtering less |
| eGFR (cystatin C) | Below 60 for 3+ months — chronic kidney disease range | 90 or above (60–89 is mildly decreased) | — |
Qué Afecta los Resultados
High-dose corticosteroids, thyroid disease (an overactive thyroid raises cystatin C, an underactive one lowers it), smoking, inflammation and obesity can shift results somewhat. Unlike creatinine, a large meat meal or heavy exercise before the draw has little effect.
Cuándo Repetir la Prueba
If eGFR is below 60, it is usually confirmed with a repeat test after about 3 months, since chronic kidney disease is defined by a lasting decrease. People with diabetes or high blood pressure are commonly checked at least once a year.
