What does a low eGFR mean?
A low eGFR means the kidneys aren’t filtering blood effectively. This can indicate kidney disease, often without early symptoms. Understanding your eGFR helps detect issues early and prevent progression.
What is creatinine?
Creatinine is a waste product filtered by the kidneys. High or low levels can indicate changes in kidney or muscle health. Find out what your levels mean and how to test them at home.
What the color of your urine says about your health
Urine color ranges from clear to dark brown and reveals much about your health. It can reflect hydration, food intake, or even disease. This guide helps you interpret urine color and decide when to consult a doctor.
What is eGFR ?
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) measures how well the kidneys filter waste from the blood and is an important indicator of kidney function. A normal eGFR is above 90 mL/min/1.73 m², while lower values may indicate kidney disease. As kidney function declines, serious health problems can arise. Tests can help assess kidney health by measuring key biomarkers, including eGFR.
