CYSTATIN C-CHECK-1 Quantitative determination of Cystatin C in whole blood, plasma or serum samples

The CYSTATIN C-CHECK-1 is a rapid screening test for the detection of cystatin C protein in whole blood, plasma or serum samples to be used as an aid by medical healthcare professionals assessing the status of the renal function (GFR). The measurement of the concentration range or determination of sole cystatin C is not sufficient to diagnose renal function failure or chronic kidney disease as application of Cystatin C in cancerology or cardiology field is also reported. The CYSTATIN C-CHECK-1 allows only the determination of normal or abnormal level in Cystatin C. Additional examination such as the determination of total protein in urine and/or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imagery) can be necessary.
