Plasma Cystatin C Level is a Prognostic Marker of Morbidity and Mortality in Hospitalized Decompensated Cirrhotic Patients.

Introduction : Cystatin C (CysC) is biomarker for early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, there is limited evidence in decompensated cirrhotic patients without AKI at admission. This study aimed to assess CysC as a predictor of 90-day mortality.
