Several biochemical indices are used to diagnose chronic kidney disease. One is glomerular filtration rate (GFR). What does GFR measure? What is a normal GFR? Interpret her value
What will be an ideal response?
• GFR measures the rate filtrate is produced collectively by each nephron.
• A 24-hour urine collection and serum levels are used to measure creatinine clearance.
• GFR is used to stage CKD.
• Normal GFR is ~120 mL/min.
• A GFR of 4 mL/min/1.73 m2 is considered Stage 5 (Kidney failure).
