2.1.5. Summary of Changes in sCyst-C

In summary, the main advantages of sCyst-C over creatinine in studies concerning exercise is that sCyst-C is not correlated with lean mass [28–30,32]. Therefore, sCyst-C may be more suitable for assessing renal function in individuals with a higher muscle mass when mild kidney impairment is suspected [33]. The studies performed after single exercise may suggest that sCyst-C elevation is dependent on intensity and duration. Long and intensive exercises such as a marathon will cause an increase [20,22–24], while short exercises or exercises with lower intensity will not [26,27].
