GFR Calculator - eGFR. Glomerular Filtration Rate Calculator
WEBYour estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is the calculation that indicates your level of kidney function, based on the results of a creatinine serum test and other factors—such as age and gender. If your eGFR is below 90, your kidneys may not be functioning as well as they should and you may be at risk for kidney disease.
