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)
