The role of cystatin C in kidney injury in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review
Although individual studies showed some benefit of using serum cystatin C for the prognosis of DKD in pediatric patients with T1D, the meta-analysis of included studies reached no statistical significance. Future clinical studies should focus on the prognostic role of cystatin C (serum and urinary) in identifying kidney injury in pediatric patients with T1D.
