eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) measures kidney function and helps diagnose kidney disease. Calculated from blood creatinine levels, eGFR indicates how well the kidneys filter waste. Normal values typically exceed 90 mL/min/1.73 m². Low eGFR suggests kidney impairment, necessitating further investigation and potential treatment. Regular monitoring of eGFR is crucial for at-risk individuals.
