How do we calculate GFR?
eGFR is estimated GFR calculated by the abbreviated MDRD equation : 186 x (Creatinine/88.4)-1.154 x (Age)-0.203 x (0.742 if female) x (1.210 if black).
What is normal GFR for age?
GFR Number by Age
The normal range of Kidney Glomerular Filtration Rate is 100 to 130 mL/min/1.73m2 in men and 90 to 120mL/min/1.73m2 in women below the age of 40. GFR decreases progressively after the age of 40 years.
What does a GFR of 56 mean?
An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 56 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared is very mild chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is early Stage 3 CKD. I suggest that you continue to consult with your physician.
Is a GFR of 52 bad?
A GFR of 60 or higher is in the normal range. A GFR below 60 may mean kidney disease. A GFR of 15 or lower may mean kidney failure.
Will drinking water increase my GFR?
found increased water intake actually decreases GFR. It might therefore seem that any “toxin” removed purely by glomerular filtration is cleared less efficiently in the setting of increased water intake; however, it is not certain such changes in GFR persist over time.
Should I worry if my GFR is 90?
A GFR of 90 mL/min or higher is normal in most healthy people. Usually few symptoms are present at this stage of early chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Should I worry if my GFR is 50?
An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 50 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared is early Stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD). You should continue to follow regularly with your physician.
What are the symptoms of low GFR?

How can I naturally increase my GFR?
Avoid processed foods and choose fresh fruits and vegetables instead. It's important to follow a low-salt diet. Salt should be limited especially if you have high blood pressure, protein in your urine, or swelling or difficulty breathing. Eating less than 2000 mg a day of sodium is recommended.
Can you have a low GFR and not have kidney disease?
People with mildly low gFR (between 60 and 89) may not have kidney disease if there is no sign of kidney damage, such as protein in their urine. these people should have their gFR checked more often.
What is a normal GFR for a 70 year old?
However, we know that GFR physiologically decreases with age, and in adults older than 70 years, values below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 could be considered normal.
Can dehydration cause low GFR?
So, can dehydration cause low GFR? Absolutely. Hydration status has a huge impact on kidney function and thus can impact GFR scores. When your body doesn't have enough fluids and electrolytes, it can't remove waste products such as serum creatinine and urea.
