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 GFR OF 1100 MEAN?

A Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) of 1100 mL/min is an unusually high value and likely indicates a misunderstanding, as GFR is typically measured in mL/min/1.73 m² to normalize for body surface area. Normal GFR values for adults generally range from 90 to 120 mL/min/1.73 m². A GFR significantly above this range may suggest overestimation or errors in measurement. It’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for accurate interpretation and potential underlying causes.

What causes a high gfr?

A high glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be caused by factors such as dehydration, intense physical activity, a diet high in protein, or certain medications. It can also be a result of hyperfiltration in conditions like early diabetes or hypertension. A persistently high GFR may indicate underlying kidney disease and should be further evaluated by a healthcare professional.


What does it mean when your GFR is low?

A GFR (glomerular filtration rate - of the kidney) that is just under 60 indicated mild renal insufficiency. If it is under 40, then moderate renal disease is present. If it is under 20, more severe renal disease is the case. When GFR is too low, wastes cannot adequately be cleared and dialysis is needed.
