Cystatin C was measured in venous and capillary blood samples obtained simultaneously from 48 children, and GFR was estimated using the Filler equation. Estimated GFR based on capillary cystatin C concentrations was higher than the venous cystatin C based GFR. The limits of agreement between estimated GFR based on capillary and venous measurements exceeded +/-20% at the upper reference concentration, which hampers the clinical usefulness of capillary sampling.

However, the sum of the ferritin ions of the control group is significantly higher than that of the other three groups.
