What is Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (E-GFR)?

The Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (E-GFR) test uses a blood sample to estimate how well your kidneys are filtering waste products from your blood. It's a key indicator of kidney function and helps detect kidney disease in its early stages.

Why is this test important?

E-GFR is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring chronic kidney disease (CKD), staging its severity, and guiding treatment decisions. Regular monitoring helps manage kidney health, assess the effectiveness of treatments, and prevent progression to kidney failure.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
