What is Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)?
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate is measured as part of a kidney function panel. Your eGFR is normal — your kidneys are filtering blood at a healthy rate.
What does a high Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate mean?
High eGFR is generally not a concern.
What does a low Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate mean?
Your eGFR is below 60, indicating reduced kidney function. This may be early chronic kidney disease (CKD). Your doctor may want to monitor this closely and investigate the cause.
If markedly low: Your eGFR indicates severe kidney dysfunction. Kidney function is severely reduced. Please see a doctor urgently.
