Early life factors in relation to albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C and creatinine in adults from a Swedish population-based cohort study.

Lower birth weight, prematurity and postnatal growth curve have a potential sex- specific effect of early exposure to an adverse environment on lower cystatin C-based eGFR and albuminuria later in life. Cystatin C compared to creatinine -eGFR equations shows a higher ability to detect these findings.
