The estimated Glomerular filtration rate (eGRT) blood test is an important and essential test for assessing the filtration ability of both kidneys. egfr-stands for “Estimated glomerular filtration rate”

In the case of chronic kidney disease (CKD) eGFR decreases.

what is the glomerular filtration rate?

An estimated glomerular filtration rate test is used to measure the creatinine filtration ability of the kidney.

Creatinine is the end product of muscle mass. When there is an increase in muscular activity, creatinine levels tend to rise. The kidney filters, these wastes and excretes it in urine form.

WHAT is the glomerular filtration rate normal range?

The normal range of glomerular filtration rate depends on many factors like age, race, African, and American. But eGFR range is 110 to 120.

egfr medical abbreviation mean?

egfr medical abbreviation is ” Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate”.

What is a normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) per age range?

eGFR normal range is more than 100 up to 120 egfr. This range varies from age to age. EGFR range depends on three factors.

1. AGE,
2. GENDER
3. chronic kidney disease (CKD).

eGFR stands for?

eGFR stands for estimated glomerular filtration rate. With the help of egfr, the doctor assesses the kidney function and severity of kidney disease.

a gfr of 95 ml/min indicates

when there is an egfr test of 95 ml/mint. It can be due to many causes like alcohol consumption, drugs, or minor damage by physical or viral.

egfr blood test high means

when there is a high egfr blood test ( >110 ml/mint ), it is a good sign for kidney function. It means both kidneys are healthy and fully functional.

egfr low meaning

when there is low egfr ( < 60 ml/mint ), it is an alarming situation. Glomerular filtration rate (eGRT) decrease when kidney get damaged due to some causes ( viral, physical ). In chronic kidney disease, the glomerular filtration rate (eGRT) is less than 60 ml/mint or more.

How to improve est. glomerular filtration rate (egfr)?

If your est. glomerular filtration rate (Egfr) is low you need

1. Avoid alcohol
2. Drink more water
3. Eat fruits like apples and mangoes.
4. Drink milkshake, and sugar cane.

egfr African American meaning

Initially, race was considered in eGFR calculations. Because clinical trials show that people who are self-identify as African American can have, more range of creatinin.

This change in creatinine was due to differences in muscle mass, and diet.

A patient’s race is not always used when clinical lab tests are required, In the lab, they use different egfr calculations for African Americans and non-African Americans.
