Serum cystatin C is a determinant of central pressure augmentation index measured by oscillometric method in renal transplant recipients

Table 5 Comparison of eGFR based models before and after adding serum Cystatin C as a covariable (ANOVA)

	R²without Cystatin C	R²with Cystatin C	F statistics	p value
eGFR alone vs. (eGFR + Cystatine C)	0.090	0.114	4.14	0.044
Model 4 vs. (Model 4 – Cystatin C)	0.362	0.388	6.25	0.014

Addition of Cystatin C significantly improved both univariate and multivariate mGFR based models.
