Estimated glomerular Filtration Rate(EGFR)
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is a calculated value that assesses how well the kidneys are filtering waste products from the blood. It is derived from blood creatinine levels along with factors such as age and sex. This test is commonly used to evaluate kidney function, detect chronic kidney disease at an early stage, and monitor progression of renal impairment over time. It is a key indicator of overall renal health and function.
The findings related to these particular clinical tests are a general guide and do not cover every possible scenario, this is because every patient is unique and these results only have true clinical significance when combined with the patient’s full medical history, a physical exam, and other diagnostic findings.
