You dont' need to fast for the GFR, but usually it's drawn with other labs that require fasting, so contact your health care provider or lab for advice.

What does a GFR of 96 mean?
it is normal gfr level.
What is a normal GFR?
A normal GFR or Glomerular Filtration Rate, is similar in both men and women. For adults it is between 100-130 ml/min/1.73m2. For children a GFR at 110 ml/min/1.73m2 is normal. GFR's are used to assess kidney damage or kidney disease. Normal GFR (glomerular filtration rate of the kidney) should be above 60.
What is normal GFR of nonAfrican individual?
Normal GFR (glomerular filtration rate of the kidney) should be above 60.
What does a GFR of 78 mean?
yes
What does a GFR of 114 mean?
Normal GFR varies with a person's age and weight. In general, a GFR above 100 would be considered normal in an otherwise healthy person. However, I must emphasize that GFR alone cannot be an accurate measure of kidney function. In order for a clinician to accurately assess GFR they need to look at the entire clinical picture. Thus, in the presence of some disease process a GFR of 113 might be abnormal. Doctors can never look at just one lab value and draw a conclusion. We need the entire clinical picture.
Do you have to fast for a GFR test?
No, you don't need to fast for the GFR, but there are usually other tests completed with the GFR that require fasting. Check with your health care provider for information specific to your situation.
Dilation of the afferent arteriole decrease GFR?
no, it would increase GFR constriction would decrease GFR
What does a GFR of 96 mean?
it is normal gfr level.
GFR blood test is low?
My husband is 72 - gfr is 64
What causes low GFR?
GFR means glomerular filtration rate. It is a way to measure the kidney's function. In adults the GFR should be somewhere between 100 and 130, while in children it should be about 110. Since the GFR is a measure of the kidney's function it is used to help classify kidney disease. GFR > 90 with no signs of kidney damage like proteinurea = normal GFR > 90 with signs of kidney damage = Category 1 GFR 60-90 = Category 2 (mild) GFR 30-60 = Category 3 (moderate) GFR 30-15 = Category 4 (severe) GFR < 15 = Category 5 (kidney failure)
What does a GFR of 113 mean?
Your estimated GFR is 113 because your kidney function is good.
What is the meaning of gfr stage 2?
GFR stage 2 is mild chronic kidney disease.
What is a normal GFR?
A normal GFR or Glomerular Filtration Rate, is similar in both men and women. For adults it is between 100-130 ml/min/1.73m2. For children a GFR at 110 ml/min/1.73m2 is normal. GFR's are used to assess kidney damage or kidney disease. Normal GFR (glomerular filtration rate of the kidney) should be above 60.
What does the GFR test for on the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel?
The GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate, and assesses kidney function.
What is normal GFR of nonAfrican individual?
Normal GFR (glomerular filtration rate of the kidney) should be above 60.
What causes a high gfr level on lab test metabolic panel?
Healthy kidneys cause a high GFR level.
Is a gfr of 1.6 normal?
Yes.
