Description
CysC Fast Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay)
The CysC Fast Test Kit is a quantitative immunofluorescence assay designed for rapid detection of Cystatin C (CysC) levels in serum, plasma, or whole blood. It serves as a valuable tool in assessing kidney function and monitoring glomerular filtration rate (GFR), especially in patients with kidney disease, transplant cases, or chemotherapy monitoring.
Key Advantages
- Fast Turnaround: Delivers results in just 3 minutes
- Accurate Kidney Function Indicator: Cystatin C is more reliable than creatinine for GFR estimation
- Early Detection: Useful in early diagnosis of renal damage and acute kidney injury (AKI)
- Versatile Sample Use: Works with serum, plasma, and whole blood
- Stable Storage: 4–30°C for up to 24 months
About Cystatin C (CysC)
Cystatin C is a small protein filtered by the glomeruli and reabsorbed and degraded in the renal tubules. Unlike creatinine, it is not affected by muscle mass, making it a more accurate marker for kidney function. Increased levels in blood indicate reduced kidney filtration capacity, often before creatinine levels rise.
