Kidney Injury Markers in Pediatric TA-TMA: In the World of Serum Creatinine, be a Cystatin C or Urine Protein

Key Points

• Cystatin C and urine protein show potential superiority over serum creatinine for detecting kidney injury.
• Cystatin C reflects glomerular filtration rate better in pediatric TA-TMA than serum creatinine in recent findings.
• Assessment of kidney injury markers involves analyzing urine protein alongside traditional serum creatinine measurements.
• Identifying accurate kidney injury markers may enhance clinical outcomes in pediatric patients with TA-TMA.
