What does it mean when your GFR is 45?​

Your kidney function is still considered normal if the GFR number is 90 or greater. If your GFR is 45, you know that your kidneys are working at approximately 45 percent of the normal rate. Stage 1 Kidney Disease Healthy kidneys or kidney damage with normal or high GFR
What is the normal range of GFR in CKD?
GFR LEVEL: 30 TO 59 mL/min. Stage 3 CKD, a moderate decrease in kidney function, is divided into 3A (GFR is 45 to 59) and 3B (GFR is 30 to 44). The following can occur when someone is in stage 3 of CKD: Waste products build up in the blood.
What is a GFR agreement?

What is end stage renal disease with GFR 15?
A person with Stage 5 CKD has end stage renal disease (ESRD) with a GFR less than 15 ml/min. At this advanced stage of kidney disease, the kidneys have lost nearly all their ability to do their job effectively, and eventually dialysis or a kidney transplant is needed to live.
What is the best way to measure GFR?
The gold standard for measuring GFR is using plasma or urinary clearance of an exogenous filtration marker.

Despite improvements to the MDRD equation, it tends to significantly underestimate measured GFR. Underestimation of GFR is particularly significant in patients with a GFR > 60 ml/min/m2; 29% in healthy patients undergoing evaluation for kidney donation.
How is GFR calculated for kidney disease?
