Gfr Kidney Reading

[Bazile]

Is a reading of 67 cause for alarm ?

I was told it should be at least 60. So you're fine. Mine was only 51 about 10 years ago but dictir said she wasn't worried about me..

Thank you Chris .

According to the link that Chris has supplied, the readings are lower as you age.

20- 29 yrs old average 116.

70+  average 75.

I come under the 70+ and my last reading was 90, so perhaps yours is low Bazile depending on how old you are.

What did your GP say about it?

[Peter Pedant]

you are OK

A GFR of 60 or higher is in the normal range. A GFR below 60 may mean kidney disease. A GFR of 15 or lower may mean kidney failure.
