  • Cystatin C-Based Cardiovascular Mortality Index: Explanation and Clinical Context
    The Cystatin C-Based Cardiovascular Mortality Index utilizes serum cystatin C levels to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR), providing a more accurate assessment of renal function compared to creatinine-based methods. Elevated cystatin C levels have been associated with increased risks of cardiovascular mortality, independent of traditional risk factors. This tool aids clinicians in identifying patients at higher risk for cardiovascular events, allowing for timely interventions and management strategies.
