Persons with occult-reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 detected by serum cystatin C but missed by creatinine) have high risk for complications. Among persons with preserved kidney function by creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcreat>60 ml/min/1.73 m2), tools to guide cystatin C testing are needed.
