This is a little different . Sorry if I'm in the wrong place. Yesterday I had a blood test. This morning I got the results from my online lab account.
eGFR was 82, and Creatinine was 64. I'm 75 yrs of age. The score range according to the lab for creatinine is 50-100 umol/L which is in the normal range and for eGFR 60-89, which says
"consistent with mildly decreased kidney function. However, in the absence of other evidence of kidney disease, eGFR values in this range do not fulfil the KD1GO criteria for chronic kidney disease" If there was an abnormal score in any test result, the lab would have it flagged in BOLD letters, but nothing was flagged in the results at all. I'm a little concerned here & would appreciate your advice. Thanks
Hello,
If you do not have structural kidney disease (e.g. polycystic kidney disease seen), abnormal protein in the urine or suspicion of a systemic disease, then this lab fining is of no concern, especially if the value remains stable in this range.
