About Gentian USA, Inc. Gentian Diagnostics: The Cystatin C CompanyGentian, a Norwegian diagnostics leader, develops diagnostic tests for relevant biomarkers. Our goal is to make our products compatible with all major clinical chemistry platforms, allowing labs to expand their test menus without the need for additional instruments.We have been cystatin C experts since 2008. Our cystatin C assay (plasma and serum) is FDA 510(k) cleared and standardized to ERM-DA471/IFCC. Cystatin C plays a critical role in improving the estimation of GFR, particularly when used alongside creatinine. Both the KDIGO 2024 guidelines and a joint task force from the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) recommends the use of cystatin C in conjunction with creatinine for confirmatory GFR assessments, improving diagnostic accuracy in chronic kidney disease management.Visit #1440to learn more about incorporating cystatin c in your clinical practise and lab.
