It is known that glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is one of the important indicator for evaluating renal function, so for patients the one of the most concerned problem is the level of it. Recently i received an email from one patient, he is a Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD ) 3 patients with GFR 53 and want to know is it serious ? Should CKD 3 patient be concerned with GFR of 53 ?

kidney function test usually include blood urea nitrogen and creatinine blood test, but these two indicators have very big difference in different populations. So now when judging renal disease, often take glomerular filtration rate this approach because comparatively speaking, this method is more accurate.

The normal GFR should be above 90ml/min, if your GFR is below 60 and over more than 3 months, that is mean you may get chronic kidney disease. If the glomerular filtration rate under 15 ml/min, that means your kidney function has been damaged seriously and you may need to receive dialysis. Of course, whether dialysis is need or not, should combine with the practical situation of clinical comprehensive.
