Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

The glomerular filtration rate is a measurement that describes how fast the kidney is filtering your blood.

Imagine:

  1. Kidneys stop filtering effectively
  2. Creatinine builds up
  3. Creatinine measures higher
  4. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is calculated lower
