The concentration of Cys C in the patient's serum can reflect the level of glomerular filtration rate and indicate the occurrence of renal failure. The establishment of a simple and rapid analytical method to quantitatively monitor the concentration of Cys C in serum could help timely detection of renal failure. In this study, we have developed an Eu (III) chelate nanoparticles based lateral flow immunoassay to fulfill real-time monitoring of Cys C concentration in serum within 15 min. This method was performed as a sandwich immunoassay with a wide detection range (0.05-10 μg/mL) and a low limit of detection (24.54 ng/mL). The intra and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 8.31-8.61% and 8.92-9.95%, respectively. Furthermore, the application of this method was evaluated by comparing the determined results with those obtained by chemiluminescence immunoassay, exhibiting a satisfactory correlation (R
