To data, there is not a marker of renal function able to detect ral time acute changes in kidney function. In clinical practice the more extensively used markers of renal function, despite their limitation, are serum Creatinine (sCr), creatinine clearance (CrCl) and urine output. In the last two decades, Cystatin C (Cys C) was studied as a valid marker of glomerular filtration in chronic renal dysfunction and as a promising marker in acute kidney injury.
