Feb 9, 2023 · The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) does not diagnose kidney disease, but is a test to assess how well your kidneys are working. Written by a GP.

May 7, 2016 · Although you haven't said how old you are, aAn eGFR of 60 is not unduly low, and, in fact, in the case of an older person may just represent an ageing process rather than a disease process (the name CKD - chronic kidney disease - is an unfortunate one in my mind!). The test was developed at the request of the government who wished to find out ...

Jan 16, 2023 · Interpret eGFR values of 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 or more with caution, bearing in mind that estimates of GFR become less accurate as the true GFR increases. Confirm an eGFR result of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 in an adult not previously tested by repeating the test within two weeks. Allow for variability of serum creatinine (±5%) when ...

Jul 3, 2017 · My gfr is up to 60 from 45 five days ago. I have an ultrasound scheduled for the end of July. Doctor told me he wanted to wait for blood work to come back before referring to a nephrologist. I won't see my GP again until the 18th of July. …

Jun 19, 2024 · NB: patients with a GFR of >60 ml/minute/1.73 m 2 without evidence of chronic kidney damage should NOT be considered to have CKD and do not necessarily need further investigation.

Don't start to panic yet, 60 GFR could just be a blip. See what your next results are, remember kidneys also work off your blood pressure so try to relax and be calm.

I am 63 and have CKD gfr22 but I went searching for the median gfr of a healthy 63 year old woman so I could compare the number. I googled, normal gfr by age, the site is Kidney-international.org. I wish I could make these computer gadgets sing in French like my kids can and I would give you a link but I have no idea how to do that so I will ...

Jun 23, 2024 · Instead, we usually estimate the GFR using an equation, based on a blood creatinine measurement. This is called the estimated GFR, or eGFR. The eGFR is much easier to measure, as it only requires a single blood test. It provides a good estimate of kidney function in most situations. eGFR is calculated based on: The blood creatinine level. Your age.

Nov 5, 2014 · I wouldn't worry about your GFR it's quite high. 3 years ago mine dropped to 26 and after a quick visit to my neph. he found my sudden decrease was due to taking diclofenac and ow can't have anything with an antiinflamatory in it. Were you …
