low eGFR score

Hello, and thanks for your medical question on eHealthForum.

From the parameters provided it seems that most of the renal functions are within normal levels.

The eGFR is a calculated estimate of the actual glomerular filtration rate and is based on your serum creatinine concentration. The recommended calculation uses a formula that also includes your age, gender, and race.

A normal eGFR is 60 or more. A low eGFR number may suggest kidney disease.

Your levels are just at the borderline and hence there is no reason to be alarmed about.

I hope this helps.
