In which case would eGFR derived from the plasma creatinine likely give a more accurate measure of GFR than measurement of plasma cystatin C?
thanks Maha Fahdil Mohammed for a nice comments and excellent answer.
Good question Moaed!
Possibly where there is thyroid dysfunction (see refs below).
However, remember, that eGFR is not a measure - merely an estimation, and whether it is derived with pCr or pCysC it is not a great estimator.

I don't know why the Most laboratories consider less than 7.20 and greater than 7.60 the critical values for pH.
