2023年11月19日 · Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is divided into five stages, ranging from stage 1 to stage 5. Each stage is determined by a blood test known as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which establishes how well your kidneys filter waste and …

2016年3月14日 · My eGFR on a blood test was 59. I am a 49 year old female. They did an ultrasound of my kidneys and everything was OK on the ultrasound. I have normal blood pressure and I exercise regularly. No symptoms or other conditions. How worried should I be? Would this be classified as kidney disease? Does this mean I will eventually need dialysis? Are ...

2021年6月17日 · Stage 1 (eGFR of 90 or higher) indicates mild kidney damage, but your kidneys are working well. Stage 2 (eGFR between 60 and 89) indicates an increase in kidney damage from stage 1, but the kidneys continue to function well.

2025年3月18日 · An eGFR number between 45 and 59 means your kidneys may have mild to moderate damage and do not work as well as they should to filter waste from your blood. Your eGFR result is XX mL/min/1.73. An eGFR number between 30 and 44 means you may have moderate to severe kidney damage.

2022年7月13日 · eGFR of 60 -89 may mean early-stage kidney disease; eGFR of 15 -59 may mean kidney disease; eGFR below 15 may mean kidney failure; What is a normal eGFR number? In adults, the normal eGFR number is usually more than 90. eGFR declines with age, even in people without kidney disease. See chart below for average estimated eGFR based on age.

2023年8月1日 · An eGFR of 59 ml/min puts you (just) in Stage CKD3A (see table below). This is usually a mild kidney problem. So rule number one: don’t panic. Get it rechecked. The first thing to do is to repeat the test. GFR (and the blood creatinine on which it is based) are not that reliable. And if you were slightly dehydrated on the day of the test, it ...

2019年1月14日 · Kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is determined by having a blood test to check how well your kidneys work by estimating how much blood passes through the glomeruli; tiny filters in the kidneys filter waste from the blood per minute.

2025年1月3日 · Your eGFR is an estimated number based on a blood test and your age, sex, and body type. eGFR is considered a mostly reliable test for doctors to know how well your kidneys are working. However, the eGFR may not be accurate if you are younger than 18, pregnant, very overweight or very muscular.

Stage I (eGFR of 90 mL/min/1.73m2 or higher): Indicates possible kidney damage (protein in the urine) with normal renal function. Stage II (eGFR between 60 and 89 mL/min/1.73m2): Indicates renal injury combined with a slight reduction of kidney function. Stage III (eGFR between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73m2): Minimal to moderate renal functional loss.

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a test that measures your level of kidney function and determines your stage of kidney disease. Your healthcare team can calculate it from the results of your blood creatinine test, your age, body size, and gender.
