What Does eGFR level Stand For?

In medical reports, there can be several numbers related to kidney health. Those concerned about their kidney health should look at the eGFR level for the most accurate reading. eGFR is short for the estimated glomerular filtration rate. It measures the total filtration rates of functioning units called “nephrons” in the kidney. It indicates how well the kidney can filter wastes out of the body. The eGFR level can’t be measured directly. It is calculated by a formula that uses serum creatinine and some demographic factors such as age and gender.

Monitoring the eGFR level helps in detecting kidney problems and its severity. In general, a higher eGFR level means better kidney functions. In contrast, a lower eGFR level means the kidney is not working properly. But what is a normal eGFR level? What does the number indicate?

1. Most healthy people have an eGFR ≥ 90mL/min/1.73 m². Without kidney damage, an eGFR between 60 – 90mL/min/1.73 m²may also be considered normal for the elderly and infants. 

2. eGFR of 60 – 90mL/min/1.73 m²for more than 3 months, along with kidney damage, indicates early kidney problems. 

3. eGFR 60 mL/min/1.73 m²for more than 3 months indicates chronic kidney problems.
