| GFR...I don't understand
I had bloodwork done for possibly thyroid problems & end up with this. I've never even heard of GFR before. Anyways, can someone please interpret this? The 1st number is my reading, the 2nd one is the norm on the GFR, Calc lines.
GFR, Calc, European American >60 >59- mL/min
GFR, Calc, African American >60 >59- mL/min
GFR, Information Calculated GFR in mL/min/1.73 m2 by MDRD equation.
Fairly accurate in outpatients in chronic kidney
disease. May underestimate in others. Inaccurate with
changing renal function. See
