This test measures the amount of cystatin C in blood to help evaluate kidney function. Cystatin C is filtered out of the blood by the glomeruli, clusters of tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that allow water, dissolved substances, and wastes to pass through their walls while retaining blood cells and larger proteins. What passes through the walls of the glomeruli forms a filtrate fluid. From this fluid, the kidneys reabsorb cystatin C, glucose, and other substances. The remaining fluid and wastes are carried to the bladder and excreted as urine. The reabsorbed cystatin C is then broken down and is not returned to the blood.
This urine test measures very small amounts of a protein called albumin. Your liver makes albumin and your body uses it to grow and repair tissues and to help your body get rid of extra fluid. Another test to check the level of a substance called creatinine in the urine is usually done at the same time. Then the ratio of albumin to creatinine is reported. Creatinine is one of the waste chemicals in the blood that the kidney filters into the urine. This test is done to check for early signs of kidney damage, especially if you have diabetes. The kidneys are inside your belly, on either side of your spine just above your waist.
