What is normal GFR for age?

The normal range of Kidney Glomerular Filtration Rate is 100 to 130 mL/min/1.73m2 in men and 90 to 120mL/min/1.73m2 in women below the age of 40. GFR decreases progressively after the age of 40 years….GFR Number by Age.

Estimated GFR Number by Age Group
Age	Mean Estimated GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2)
20-29	116
30-39	107
40-49	99

What is a good filtration rate?

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.

What is a normal GFR for a 70 year old?

Following the classical way, we can assert that normal GFR values are largely over 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in healthy subjects, at least before the age of 70 years. However, we know that GFR physiologically decreases with age, and in adults older than 70 years, values below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 could be considered normal.

What does filtration rate indicate?

Your kidneys filter your blood by removing waste and extra water to make urine. The kidney’s filtration rate, called the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), shows how well the kidneys are filtering.

Can I improve my GFR?

While it’s possible to improve your GFR, you’re more likely to do so with acute kidney injuries rather than with chronic kidney disease. For most people with chronic disease, positive lifestyle changes may help slow the loss of kidney function.

Should I worry if my eGFR is 54?

An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared for greater than 3 months is suggestive of chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 3. The number 50 and 54 are not significantly different from each other. This is within expected laboratory variability.

How can I improve my GFR?

How to Increase eGFR

Make sure your blood pressure is in the healthy range (around 120/80) [17, 18]
Aim for a healthy weight [18, 24]
Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables [25]
Quit or reduce smoking [18, 22, 26]
Exercise for at least 30 minutes several times per week [27, 28, 29, 30]
