Association Between Serum Cystatin C and Thyroid Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
BackgroundCystatin C (CysC) is often used to diagnose and monitor renal diseases. Although some studies have investigated the association between serum CysC levels and thyroid diseases, their reported results were inconsistent. Therefore, the relationship between CysC levels and thyroid diseases rem...
