I'm sure some MDs might happen upon this question, but rather than run the risk of getting someone less qualified to make an educated guess I suggest you talk with your MD. He/she ordered your tests and will be happy to explain them. Both of those values indicate kidney function, but only your MD can asses your past and current medical history and come to a valid conclusion as to exactly how these values matter to you. To say they're good or bad lab values would be assessing the lab values and not you the patient.

What tests show renal failure?
gfr creatinine
I am a caucasian female with a high gfr black blood result what does that mean?
The eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a number based on your blood test for creatinine. It tells how well your kidneys are workingIf you are "white," the "black" GFR norm does not apply to you. YOu can erase that result from your results page.
What does a GFR of 49 mean?
The eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a number based on your blood test for creatinine. It tells how well your kidneys are working
What if creatinine level in a76 year old male and gfr is 10 i don't understand creatinine?
Creatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism that is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. In a 76-year-old male with a creatinine level of 10 and a GFR of 10, this indicates severe kidney impairment as kidneys are not effectively filtering out waste products from the blood. This may require intervention such as dialysis or kidney transplant to manage kidney function.
What is low GFR AA mean?
the GFR EST is a blood test used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate without performing a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance. It is a calculation involving the patient's serum creatinine, age, and sex. If the patient is African American the equation is adjusted to account for an African American's greater muscle mass. A Non- AA or non- African American would not require the adjustment. GFR (glomerular filtration rate) Non- AA (African American)
What does a GFR of 96 mean?
it is normal gfr level.
What is low GFR Non AA mean?
the GFR EST is a blood test used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate without performing a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance. It is a calculation involving the patient's serum creatinine, age, and sex. If the patient is African American the equation is adjusted to account for an African American's greater muscle mass. A Non- AA or non- African American would not require the adjustment. GFR (glomerular filtration rate) Non- AA (African American)
What causes a high gfr level on lab test metabolic panel?
Healthy kidneys cause a high GFR level.
Where can one find the glomerular filtration rate?
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measurement of how well one's kidneys are functioning. It is typically estimated on the basis of serum creatinine levels. One can learn their estimated GFR by visiting their physician.
What is the normal creatinine clearance level during pregnancy?
Normal creatinine clearance in most people is over 60 mL/min, however, in pregnancy it is increased by as much as 50% because of increased GFR and renal plasma flow.
What does a GFR of 113 mean?
Your estimated GFR is 113 because your kidney function is good.
What does a GFR of 78 mean?
yes
