GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) - Book Test at Low Cost

What is the GFR test?

A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a blood test that measures how well your kidneys perform. The glomeruli in your kidneys eliminate waste and surplus fluid from the blood. It measures how much blood flows through these filters every minute. Healthcare providers use a GFR calculator to estimate your GFR. A GFR calculator forecasts the rate of filtration. It compares your creatinine level, a waste product of the kidneys, with other data about you.
