∙ 12y agoGFR is the glomerular filtration rate. It is calculated from the chem panel, and then compared to normal rates. Labs typically refer to two sets of norms in the US, one set for African American patients, and one set for other patients.

∙ 11y agoThe estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is calculated a little differently for African-American patients. This is because African Americans have more muscle mass than other groups. Some doctors and labs do not use your race when finding your eGFR. Ask your doctor or lab if they used your race when they did your eGFR. If they did not, you will need to multiply your eGFR result by 1.2 if you're African American, or ask your doctor to do it for you.

∙ 11y agoGFR AA stands for glomerular filtration rate African American. Glomerular filtration rate is a calculated measure of kidney function. The result is calculated compared to tables of norms by age, race, and gender. Since clinicians don't often mark race on the lab requisition, the labs provide the norms for African American GFR and non-African American GFR.

What does a GFR of 96 mean?
it is normal gfr level.
What is diagnosis code for low GFR?
The medical diagnosis code for low GFR is 585.4. This is a medical billing code for someone who has a chronic kidney disease.

What does a GFR of 78 mean?
yes
Dilation of the afferent arteriole decrease GFR?
no, it would increase GFR constriction would decrease GFR
What is a gfr than 60 mean?
GFR is glomerular filtration rate..it measures if an individual has kidney disease. 60 is a good number meaning that one does not have chronic kidney disease.
What does a GFR of 82 mean?
A GFR or the glomerular filtration rate that is 82 means that someone has 2nd stage disease in the kidney. The function of the kidney that is normal declines through age.
What does a GFR of 114 mean?
Normal GFR varies with a person's age and weight. In general, a GFR above 100 would be considered normal in an otherwise healthy person. However, I must emphasize that GFR alone cannot be an accurate measure of kidney function. In order for a clinician to accurately assess GFR they need to look at the entire clinical picture. Thus, in the presence of some disease process a GFR of 113 might be abnormal. Doctors can never look at just one lab value and draw a conclusion. We need the entire clinical picture.
