Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reliable and accessible biomarkers for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are scarce. Creatinine (Cre) reflects muscle mass, whereas cystatin C (CysC) may reflect neurodegeneration without being directly influenced by muscle mass; however, both have limitations. We aimed to investigate whether the creatinine-to-cystatin C ratio (Cre/CysC) was cross-sectionally associated with functional status in...
