title: Usefulness of serum cystatin C in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nephropathy.
abstract: We examined usefulness of serum cystatin C to detect chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage >or=3, which was defined by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. Serum cystatin C could detect CKD stage >or=3 with high efficacy in 289 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy.
