Frequently Asked Questions
8. What does the blood test for kidney
disease reveal? - cont'd
GFR is reported as a number. A GFR of 60 or lower may mean you have
kidney disease. However, because GFR decreases as people age, other
information may be needed to determine if you actually have kidney
disease if you are older and your GFR is decreased. You can't raise
your GFR, but you can try to keep it from going lower. Ask your
healthcare provider what you can do to keep your kidneys
healthy.
