The purpose of our study was to determine the value of cystatin C (Cys C) assays in the calculation of the GFR and bioelectrical impedance analysis parameters in obese subjects aged 30-70 years with moderately damaged renal function.Materials and methodsCys C levels were measured with a new immunoturbidimetric kit (Roche Diagnostics) and an automated Cobas c6000 analyzer. In the GFR calculation, creatinine and Cys C levels were included. The GFR calculated with the equation that included Cys C in obese and normal-weight patients is not affected by changes in the lean body mass.ResultsObese patients (N = 70) had a mean (± SD) serum creatinine level of 1.52 ± 1.0 mg/dL and a mean Cys C level of 1.28 ± 0.59 mg/L. In this group, the GFR calculated on the basis of MDRD, Cys C, and creatinine clearance values...
