Cystatin C is a more sensitive marker than creatinine for the estimation of GFR in type 2 diabetic patients  Michele Mussap, Michele Dalla Vestra, Paola Fioretto, Alois Saller, Mariacristina Varagnolo, Romano Nosadini, Mario Plebani  Kidney International  Volume 61, Issue 4, Pages (April 2002) DOI: /j x Copyright © 2002 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Correlation between 51Cr-EDTA clearance and the reciprocal serum cystatin C concentration (A) or between the reciprocal serum creatinine concentration (B) in 52 type 2 diabetic patients.

3 Figure 2 Relationship between glomerular filtration rate (GFR), grouped into six ranges of variation, and proportional changes in cystatin C (•) and creatinine (○), both expressed as multiple times of the upper reference range. Vertical lines show the standard deviation for the distribution of results in each GFR grouping.

4 Figure 3 Nonparametric receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plots to assess the diagnostic efficiency of serum cystatin C (•), serum creatinine (▵), and Cockcroft and Gault estimated GFR () by distinguishing between normal and reduced GFR in 52 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
