Prediction of urine volume soon after birth using serum cystatin C
2016
Background
Urine volume is an important clinical finding particularly during the early neonatal period. Oliguria is not a sign of impaired renal function but also a predictive factor for various complications and prognoses. It has been postulated that serum cystatin C (S-CysC) is a more sensitive biomarker for renal function than serum creatinine (S-Cr) in both adults and children. The objective of the current study was to investigate whether urine volume during 24 h after birth can be predicted using S-CysC.
