Summary
This observational study compares two common blood tests—creatinine and cystatin C—to see which one better estimates actual kidney function in people with nephrotic syndrome. Researchers will use stored blood samples from 50 participants in three ongoing clinical trials. The goal is to improve how doctors monitor kidney health in this condition.
