Core Tip	Cirrhotic patient management frequently requires evaluation of renal function. However, these patients present some specific disturbances that affect the serum creatinine value, making its use to estimate glomerular filtration rate unsuitable. To get a more appropriate evaluation of the glomerular filtration rate, other methods are available such as the use of exogenous markers or assaying cystatin C in the blood, which avoid the drawbacks of the serum creatinine. Recently, a convenient new cystatin C based formula was tested and showed correct performance in cirrhotic patients, even in case of liver failure and/or severely decrease renal function.
