Multicenter Study Comparative Study
A comparison of alternative serum biomarkers with creatinine for predicting allograft function after kidney transplantation.
The role of serum cystatin C (Scyc), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and interleukin-18 in predicting early graft function after kidney transplant is poorly defined. ⋯ Scyc outperforms Scr as a predictor of early graft function after deceased-donor kidney transplant.
