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 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.
