Test your
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Looking for an easy way to test and monitor your Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)?
It's included in the HealthieOne Complete test.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Explanation: The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is calculated from blood creatinine, age, and sex. It approximates how efficiently the kidneys are filtering wastes from the bloodstream. Low eGFR values indicate reduced kidney function or potential kidney damage.
Test purpose:
- Detect early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) before symptoms appear.
- Classify the stage of kidney disease and guide treatment decisions.
- Monitor changes in kidney function over time or in response to interventions.
- Monitor side effects of renally excreted medications.
