Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) greater than 60 or higher is the normal range.
GRR lower than 60 may mean kidney disease.
GFR 15 or lower may mean kidney failure.
There are urine tests, Dipstick urine test, Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) which compares albumin to creatinine in your urine. Blood tests, Serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR),
eGFR.
Age (years) Average eGFR
40 – 49 99
50 – 59 93
60 – 69 85
70 + 75
Creatinine above 1.3 mg/dL are considered high, above 5.0 mg/dL in adults is considered abnormally high = Kidney disorder. Thank you.
