What is a Cystatin C Test in Visit Clinic?

What is Cystatin C?

Cystatin C is a kidney function test that assesses how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. When kidney function declines, waste products such as creatinine and urea accumulate in the bloodstream at measurable levels , which this test detects.

What does Cystatin C measure?

Cystatin C is a small protein made by most cells and released into the bloodstream. The kidneys normally filter it out so blood levels reflect how well the kidneys are working. Measuring cystatin C helps detect early kidney damage and monitor chronic or acute kidney disease. A standard blood, urine, or tissue sample is collected depending on the test type. The sample is analysed in a certified laboratory using validated techniques. Each value is compared to a reference range derived from healthy populations, and any value outside this range is flagged for review.

What do the results of Cystatin C mean?

Your doctor will interpret the result in the context of your overall health picture. A mildly abnormal value may just need a repeat test in a few weeks to confirm whether it is a temporary fluctuation or a persistent finding. Significantly abnormal values may trigger further investigation, medication, or referral to a specialist.

Fasting and dietary instructions:

No special fasting is needed for this test. As a general precaution, avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol in the 12 hours before the test to ensure the most accurate results.

Medication guidance:
