EGFR (ESTIMATED GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE)

EGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) test is used to assess how well your kidneys are filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood. It is calculated using your blood creatinine level along with factors such as age and gender. The eGFR helps detect early signs of kidney disease, monitor kidney function over time and guide treatment decisions. A lower eGFR may indicate reduced kidney function and the need for further medical evaluation.
