Comparison of creatinine and cystatin C estimation of glomerular filtration rate in the Fontan circulation

Background: The Fontan circulation is associated with low skeletal muscle mass, which affects the accuracy of creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate estimates (eGFR/GFR). Cystatin C, another filtration marker, is less impacted by muscle mass. We examined associations between characteristics of...
