Cys-C FIA Test CE | CTK-F2121

The cysteine protease inhibitor Cys-C, also called gamma trace or postgamma-globulin, is a valuable biomarker in diagnosing early kidney injury. Cys-C is removed from the bloodstream by glomerular filtration in the kidney. The concentration of Cys-C in blood is only determined by glomerular filtration rates, not by age, gender, or diet. When both kidney function and glomerular filtration rates decrease, the levels of Cys-C in the blood elevate. Cys-C is also used to detect kidney injury due to acute rejection reaction and medical treatment, making Cys-C a useful and sensitive biomarker for diagnosing diabetic nephropathy.
