Creatinine clearance, cystatin C, beta2-microglobulin and TATI as markers of renal function in patients with proteinuria.

Conclusions: CrCl and CYST overestimate GFR in patients with heavy proteinuria, while the ratios 100/TATI and 100/B2M with GFR do not significantly change. The direct measurement of GFR still remains the best method to assess the progression of renal damage in patients with heavy proteinuria.
