However, the clinical applicability and limitations of these indicators, as well as the detection effect factors and biological variation on the diagnosis and monitoring of AKI are very important, especially how to combine the detection effect factors and biological variation to interpret test result is attached great importance by the laboratory personnel.(Chin J Lab Med, 2016, 39: 879-884) Key words: Acute kidney injury; Creatinine; Cystatin C
