You take this test fasted in the morning? What I’m getting at is how was your hydration prior to testing? Dehydration can really skew things like Cystatin c and the markers in the CBC panel.

When taking morning fasted bloodwork you should get 20-40oz of water in you right when waking up. Then hopefully your test is at least 30 minutes later so your body has time to assimilate some of that water.

MMmmm interesting - cystatin c increases the worse the filtration rate the kidneys are clearing at because the protein builds up high in the blood. I know eGFR's of less than 60 are classed as proper kidney disease territory but obv that is based on creatinine clearance. @SeeOhShow your expertise in this area bro is required!!

Did they not give you an eGFR with that Cystatin C test? Mine is 1.02 but 81 in the normal range for eGFR

Actually, the eGFR itself is not bad when adjusting for your age, height, and weight you’re at a 93.

You can plug in your age and the result here to get the calculation. Your kidneys seem stressed though I’d definitely suggest you review your protocol and proceed with caution.
