The GFR or glomerular filtration rate measures the level of kidney function and determine the stage of kidney disease. Creatinine is a waste product in your blood that is produced from muscle activity. It is normally removed from the blood by the kidneys. But if kidney function slows down, the creatinine level rises. It is used to calculate for the estimated GFR. Normal GFR is 90 and above. Your result indicate mild decrease in GFR and needs further evaluation. Talk to your doctor about this for proper management. If GFR falls below 15 dialysis or kidney transplant is needed. Take care and best regards.
