GFR (GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE), ESTIMATED (OFFER)
Only ₹200
₹350
The GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate), Estimated (Offer) test is used to assess kidney function by estimating how efficiently your kidneys filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood. The estimated GFR (eGFR) is calculated using your serum creatinine level, along with factors such as age and sex, to provide an overall measure of kidney filtration capacity. It is one of the most important tests for evaluating kidney health and detecting chronic kidney disease (CKD) at an early stage.
The Estimated GFR (eGFR) test is commonly recommended for individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or a family history of kidney disorders, as well as those undergoing routine health check-ups. A reduced GFR may indicate impaired kidney function, while normal values generally suggest healthy kidney filtration. This test is also used to monitor the progression of kidney disease and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. When interpreted together with serum creatinine, urine tests, and clinical findings, the GFR test helps healthcare providers diagnose kidney disorders early, guide treatment decisions, and reduce the risk of kidney-related complications.

What is GFR?
Types of GFR Tests
- Estimated GFR (eGFR)
- Most common test
- Calculated from a blood test measuring Creatinine
- Also considers age, gender, and sometimes ethnicity
- Measured GFR (mGFR)
- More accurate but less commonly done
- Uses special substances injected into the blood and tracked in urine
Normal GFR Values
- 90 or above → Normal kidney function
- 60–89 → Slightly reduced (may be normal in older adults)
- Below 60 → Possible kidney disease
- Below 15 → Kidney failure
Why is the GFR Test Important?
- Chronic Kidney Disease
- Acute Kidney Injury
- Effects of conditions like Diabetes and High Blood Pressure
Symptoms of Low GFR (Kidney Problems)

- Fatigue
- Decreased urine output
- Nausea or confusion
Before the Test
- Fasting: Usually not required, but your doctor may ask you to avoid heavy protein meals (like meat) before the test.
- Medications: Inform your doctor about all medicines you take (some may affect Creatinine levels).
- Avoid intense exercise: Heavy workouts before the test can temporarily increase creatinine levels.
During the Test
- A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm.
- Sometimes a urine sample may also be collected.
- The procedure is quick and usually takes only a few minutes.
