Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the ability of renal indicators [serum creatinine (SCr), cystatin C (SCysC)] and glomerular filtration rate (GFR)-models to discriminate normal and reduced renal function. As a single cut-off level will always lead to false classifications, we propose using two cut-off levels, dividing renal function into normal or reduced, with an intermediate "gray zone" of indeterminable results.
