Nothing here is personalized to you, and using this site does not create a doctor–patient relationship.
Reference ranges differ between laboratories and by age, sex, and method — always use the range printed on your own lab report.
If you have symptoms or concerns, consult a qualified healthcare professional. If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact your doctor or local emergency services immediately.
eGFR is an estimate of kidney filtering based on blood creatinine and other factors. A lower eGFR may be associated with reduced kidney filtering, but trends and repeat results often matter most.

No. One lower eGFR result may be associated with temporary factors, so clinicians usually review trends and other kidney tests before deciding what it means.
It is calculated from creatinine and other inputs, so it gives an estimate rather than a direct measurement of filtration.
Trends over time often provide more useful information than one isolated estimate.
