Book a Test- eGFR(Glomerulo Filtration Rate), MDRD

The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is a measure of kidney function, which estimates the rate at which the kidneys filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. The eGFR is calculated using a formula that takes into account the patient's age, sex, and serum creatinine level. The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula is a widely used method for estimating eGFR. The MDRD formula provides an accurate estimate of kidney function, which is essential for diagnosing and monitoring kidney disease. The eGFR result is expressed in milliliters per minute per 1.73 square meters (mL/min/1.73m?), and it is used to classify kidney disease into different stages. A lower eGFR value indicates impaired kidney function, while a higher value indicates normal kidney function. Healthcare providers use the eGFR result to assess kidney function, monitor disease progression, and make informed decisions about treatment.
