What does it mean if your GFR is 46?
What does it mean if your GFR is 46?
An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 46 and 47 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared is consistent with Stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD). This does not tell you what caused the CKD. You will have to consult with your physician to have this test interpreted for your wife.
What does a GFR of 48 mean for kidney disease?
Post date: October 5, 2012. An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 48 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared, means that you may have Stage 3 chronic kidney disease.
What is the normal glomerular filtration rate ( GFR )?
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 happens when your GFR is below 90?
If your eGFR is below 90, your kidneys may not be functioning as well as they should and you may be at risk for kidney disease. By estimating your GFR, along with other blood and urine tests—such as creatinine clearance—your doctor is able to diagnose kidney disease, determine which stage you’re in, and track any progression.
Where can I find normal GFR by age?
I googled, normal gfr by age, the site is Kidney-international.org. I wish I could make these computer gadgets sing in French like my kids can and I would give you a link but I have no idea how to do that so I will give you as much information as I am able.

What’s the normal GFR for a 50 year old man?
A GFR of 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 is within the normal reference range for men >60 years and women >50 years. Our data suggest that recommendations to define kidney disease must be changed.
