GFR estimation based on creatinine and cystatin C (eGFRcr-cys) is more accurate than eGFR based on either creatinine or cystatin C alone (eGFRcr or eGFRcys), but the inclusion of creatinine in eGFRcr-cys requires specification of a person’s race. Beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) and beta-trace protein (BTP) are alternative filtration markers that appear to be less influenced by race than creatinine.
