Background: Diabetes is a common cause of kidney failure, and most anti-diabetic agents are excreted through the kidneys. Therefore, it is critical to adjust medication dosage and anti-diabetic agents based on kidney function. There are different methods to estimate kidney function, but the common practice is to use creatinine to estimate the glomerular filtration rate.
Objective: In this systematic review, we identify and review publications in order to assess differences between creatinine-based and cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rates in diabetic patients.
Method: The articles were identified using 3 databases and were assessed for eligibility. A total of 4 articles …
