Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working. Specifically it estimates how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute. Glomeruli are the tiny filters in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood.

Accurate estimates of the GFR are important for identifying kidney disease which often has no symptoms until just before the kidneys fail. The standard way to estimate GFR is with a simple blood test that measures your creatinine levels. Creatinine is a waste product from the digestion of dietary protein and the normal breakdown of muscle tissue.
☆ Use of eGFR
Why eGFR testing is done
Early stage kidney disease doesn’t usually cause symptoms but your doctor may recommend a eGFR test if you are at higher risk of developing kidney disease.
CKD risk factors include:
•Having diabetes or high blood pressure
• High blood pressure
• Being overweight
• Family history of kidney failure

What is a normal eGFR number?
In adults the normal eGFR number is more than 90. eGFR declines with age even in people without kidney disease.
Results of GFR test
A GFR of 60 or higher is in the normal range.
A GFR below 60 may mean kidney disease.
A GFR of 15 or lower may mean kidney failure.
