What eGFR measures

eGFR is an estimate of how well the kidneys are filtering, calculated from creatinine, age and sex.

If your eGFR is low

An eGFR below the range suggests the kidneys are filtering less than typical for your age. A single value can be affected by hydration, muscle mass and recent exercise.

Commonly associated with

Worth asking your clinician: Whether a repeat over time and a urine protein test would clarify the picture.

If your eGFR is high

A high eGFR is not usually a concern; labs print only a lower limit.

Worth asking your clinician: Nothing specific.

Typical reference range

GroupTypical range
Adultsover 60 mL/min/1.73m2

Typical adult values used by many US labs. Your own report prints the range your lab validated for its method, and that range is the one that counts. Labwise always uses the printed range first.

If it is within range

Your estimated kidney filtration is within the typical range.
