GFR- please help interpret what this means

GRF=60, creatinine=1.07; what does this mean? Is this bad?
blood calcium level is also slightly elevated, above 10.

GFR is a standerd rating at what your kidney is functioning at-60% creitine level looks to be elevated-My hubbys ran 1.8 for the longest time then jumped to 2.4. when I see calcium I think Kidney stones as my hubbys son just went through 5 stones.I am not a doctor and all this is an opionion-but from my hubbys doctor kidney has to be 15% before Dyalisi-Unfortunatly we are at 20% but other problems have taken presedence and His one remaining Kidney is the least of our worrys.

Do you think this is worth pointing out to my doctor? Just found it in reviewing my results.

Is there a difference between estimated GFR and GFR? This is my EGFR.
