EGFR stands for estimated glomerular filtration rate. It is a measure of how well the kidneys are functioning in filtering waste from the blood. It is an important indicator of kidney health.

What is eGFR (African-American?

eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a measure of kidney function and is used to assess how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. The equation for calculating eGFR for African-Americans includes a correction factor based on race because this population tends to have higher muscle mass and therefore higher creatinine levels, which can affect the accuracy of eGFR calculations if not accounted for.


What does it mean if my African American eGFR is 90 And my non African American eGFR is 74?

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a measure of kidney function. The difference in eGFR values between African American and non-African American categories reflects a correction factor used in the calculation to account for differences in muscle mass and other physiological factors. An eGFR of 90 indicates normal kidney function for African Americans, while an eGFR of 74 suggests slightly decreased kidney function for non-African Americans. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for a comprehensive assessment and interpretation of these values in the context of your overall health.
