Differential Associations of Cystatin C Versus Creatinine‐Based Kidney Function With Risks of Cardiovascular Event and Mortality Among South Asian Individuals in the UK Biobank

Differential Associations of Cystatin C Versus Creatinine‐Based Kidney Function With Risks of Cardiovascular Event and Mortality Among South Asian Individuals in the UK Biobank

Background South Asian individuals have increased cardiovascular disease and mortality risks. Reliance on creatinine‐ rather than cystatin C–based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) may underestimate the cardiovascular disease risk associated with chronic kidney disease. Methods and Resu...
