Estimated GFR above 60 cc/min on yrs basic metabolic panel(BMP)
We take a GFR. A GFR > 80 mg/min/1.73 m2 is good. It all depends on the age. For young age group, a GFR of 100 or more is desirable. It also depends on size and muscle mass. A GFR < 60 is considered kidney disease (unless old, petite, and no muscles).
