GFR is regulated by having the technicians doing the tests be educated in cleanliness and proper hygiene. The person who analyzes the test is also trained how to analyze the blood. GFR is the Glomerular Filtration Rate. It measures how well the kidneys are processing waste.

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 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.
