Variations in cystatin C based upon sex, race, and ethnicity

Serum cystatin C percentiles (5th, 50th, and 95th) by age and (A) sex and (B) race/ethnicity graphed by using an inverse transformation. (-1/cystatin C) is analyzed and the corresponding values for serum cystatin C are shown on the y-axis. The horizontal line at a serum cystatin C value of 1.12 mg/L indicates the cutoff value for increased serum cystatin C level.
