GFR Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimated Test
Introduction to the GFR Test
The GFR Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimated Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to assess kidney function. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products from the blood, and understanding their efficiency is essential for maintaining overall health. This test estimates the rate at which the kidneys filter blood, providing critical insights into kidney health.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) which is an indicator of kidney function. It evaluates:
- Creatinine: A waste product from muscle metabolism that is filtered by the kidneys.
- eGFR: The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate calculated from serum creatinine, age, gender, and race.
- GFR Category: Classifies kidney function into categories based on the eGFR result.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is recommended for individuals who:
- Show symptoms of kidney disorders such as swelling, fatigue, or changes in urination.
- Have risk factors including diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease.
- Are undergoing medications that may affect kidney function.
Benefits of Taking the GFR Test
Taking the GFR Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimated Test has numerous benefits:
- Early detection of kidney dysfunction can lead to timely intervention.
- Helps in monitoring the progression of kidney disease.
- Guides treatment decisions for patients with existing kidney conditions.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the GFR test are categorized into stages:
- Normal: eGFR 90 mL/min or higher
- Mildly decreased: eGFR 60-89 mL/min
- Moderately decreased: eGFR 30-59 mL/min
- Severely decreased: eGFR 15-29 mL/min
- Kidney failure: eGFR less than 15 mL/min
Consult with your healthcare provider for an accurate interpretation of your results.
