Evaluation of the serum cystatin C values in prediction of indications for hemodialysis in patients with chronic renal failure.

Background: Indications of dialysis treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease depend on various clinical and laboratory parameters. In this study, we aimed to determine whether standardized serum cystatin C (SCC) equation may be an applicability of marker for dialysis initiation and its relationship to other clearance values among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.

Materials And Methods: A total of 84 patients (45 males, 39 females) aged 19-89 were evaluated in this study.
