High Estimated GFR (eGFR): what it means
A Estimated GFR (eGFR) result above the normal range is considered high. Here is what a raised Estimated GFR (eGFR) can point to, and when it is worth discussing with a doctor.
Reference range: ≥90 normal; 60–89 mildly reduced; <60 chronic kidney disease threshold
Understand your full resultWhat a high Estimated GFR (eGFR) can mean
- Hyperfiltration — sometimes seen in early diabetes (before nephropathy), pregnancy.
- High muscle mass overestimating clearance — limitation of creatinine-based eGFR.
- Rarely clinically actionable in the high direction.
When to discuss with a doctor
A single low eGFR isn't a diagnosis — chronic kidney disease requires the reduction to persist for ≥3 months. Sustained eGFR <60 warrants primary-care work-up: urine albumin/creatinine ratio, blood pressure control, medication review (avoid NSAIDs, dose-adjust as needed). eGFR <30 needs a nephrologist. Mediora.AI plots your eGFR trajectory; treatment is highly individualised.
