Your doctor can calculate it from the results of your blood creatinine test, your age, race, gender and other factors. I hope this helps. A value of 43 indicates a moderate decrease in GFR as determined by the National Kidney Foundation. If your GFR falls below 30 you will need to see a kidney disease specialist (called a nephrologist).

Usually with diabetes and high blood pressure there is a gradual and eventual drop in the GFR level and so controlling those 2 factors will be quite important and the insult to the heart also likely decreased the function levels.

The GFR numbers on a blood test are a calculated value based on the blood test for creatinine, along with the age, gender, and race of the individual. Anything that can cause the creatinine result to fluctuate from one test to the next will automatically also cause the GFR value to fluctuate from one test to the next.

Well according to GFR of 40 reading.....it means decline in your kidney function of moderate severity..which is clinically taken as Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III. It is fairly common among Diabetic patients to have silent decline in kidney function so regular kidney function evaluation with protein check in urine and creatinine is recommended.
