    Using serum cystatin C in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has in recent times been recommended. A number of simple formulas for calculating GFR have been derived specifically from serum cystatin C concentrations. The purpose of this study was to assess the significance of cystatin C and of the two most frequently applied of these formulas in estimating glomerular filtration rate compared to serum creatinine and its derived formulas for estimating glomerular filtration rate from creatinine concentrations. The study included 74 patients: 59 were in various stages of chronic renal insufficiency (divided into two subgroups: I with GFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2 and II with GFR<60 mL/min/1.73m2) and 15 on hemodialysis. A control group of 30 healthy participants was also included in the study. Serum values of cystatin C ranged from: 0.86 ± 0.16 mg/L in subgroup I, and 1.77 ± 0.79 mg/L in subgroup II, to 6.9 ± 1.83 mg/L in patients on hemodialysis. The correlation between the two formulas derived from cystatin C and the clearance of creatinine, as well as the Cockcroft and Gault's formula, was significant, while one of the formulas derived from cystatin C did not show a significant correlation with MDRD. It was concluded that serum cystatin C is a significant marker in estimating glomerular filtration rate, especially in the advanced stages of chronic renal insufficiency. U novije vreme preporučena je upotreba serumskog cistatina C u proceni jačine glomerulske filtracije (GFR). Upravo iz serumske koncentracije cistatina C je izvedeno nekoliko jednostavnih formula za izračunavanje GFR. Cilj ove studije je bio da proceni značaj cistatina C i dve najčešće primenjivane od tih formula u proceni jačine glomerulske filtracije u poređenju sa serumskim kreatininom i izvedenim formulama za procenu jačine glomerulske filtracije iz koncentracija kreatinina. U studiju je uključeno 74 ispitanika: 59 u različitim stadijumima hronične bubrežne insuficijencije (podeljenih u dve podgrupe: I sa GFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1,73m2 i II sa GFR< 60 mL/min/1,73m2) i 15 na hemodijalizi. U studiju je bila uključena i kontrolna grupa od 30 zdravih ispitanika. Serumske vrednosti cistatina C su se kretale: u podgrupi I 0,86 ± 0,16 mg/L, u podgrupi II 1,77 ± 0,79 mg/L i kod ispitanika na hemodijalizi 6,9 ± 1,83 mg/L. Korelacija između obe formule izvedene iz cistatina C i klirensa kreatinina kao i Kokroft-Gaultove formule bila je značajna, dok jedna od ovih formuli izvedenih iz cistatina C nije pokazala značajnu korelaciju sa MDRD. Može se zaključiti da je serumski cistatin C značajan parametar u proceni jačine glomerulske filtracije, naročito u odmaklim stadijumima hronične bubrežne insuficijencije.
