  1. Creatinine clearance (CrC), creatinine clearance estimation by Schwartz formula (Schwartz), serum creatinine (Cr), serum cystatin C, and serum beta2-microglobulin (B2M) in patients with renal dysfunction (CrC less than 80 ml/minute per 1.73 m2) and normal renal function are shown. CI, confidence interval; N, number of patients; NS, not significant.
