NCT ID NCT01895114
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a blood test called cystatin C is more accurate than the standard creatinine test for measuring kidney function in people with severe liver disease. Researchers compared these lab tests to a precise radioactive tracer method in 213 adults being evaluated for a liver transplant. The goal was to find a better way to detect kidney problems in this group, which can affect transplant outcomes.
