Why test for Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) at VIP Lab ?

Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) or estimated GFR is a blood test that measures a waste product called creatinine, that is excreted by your kidneys. When kidneys are not functioning properly, the blood level of creatinine increases. Your blood creatinine level is put in a methametical formula along with your age, race and sex to find out your Glomerular Filtration Rate, known as eGFR. This value of eGFR indicates how good kidneys are functioning.
