Test Details

GFR is a key indicator of kidney function, reflecting the volume of blood filtered by the glomeruli each minute. A low GFR suggests impaired or failing kidneys, while normal values indicate healthy function. It is essential for diagnosing and staging chronic kidney disease, monitoring progression, and deciding on dialysis or transplantation. GFR is influenced by factors such as age, blood pressure, and diabetes.

It is used to diagnose chronic kidney disease, assess severity, monitor progression, and guide treatment or dialysis decisions.
Low GFR occurs in kidney failure, diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and severe dehydration.
Symptoms include leg swelling, fatigue, changes in urine color or volume, and high blood pressure.
It is the most important indicator of kidney performance, showing filtration capacity.
High blood pressure damages kidneys over time and reduces GFR.
It decreases gradually with aging, especially after age 40.
