serum creatnine level in renal dis.generally do not increase until renal function is substantially impaired. determination of creatnine clearance is a highly sensitive test for measuring the GFR. the conc. of creatnine in the blood, like that of urea,will increase with decreased kidney function. creatnine are not affected by a high protein diet as is the case for urea level.

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)

Do you have to fast for a GFR test?

No, you don't need to fast for the GFR, but there are usually other tests completed with the GFR that require fasting. Check with your health care provider for information specific to your situation.


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.
