Calculated Glomerular Filtration Rate (cGFR):
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of the function of the kidneys. glomeruli are tiny filters in the kidneys that allow waste products to be removed from the blood, while preventing the loss of important constituents, including proteins and blood cells. Every day, healthy kidneys filter about 200 quarts of blood and produce about 2 quarts of urine.
The glomerular filtration rate refers to the amount of blood that is filtered by the glomeruli per minute. When a person's kidney function declines due to damage or disease, then the filtration rate decreases and waste products begin to accumulate in the blood.
The eGFR is a calculation based on a serum creatinine test. Creatinine is a muscle waste product that is filtered from the blood by the kidneys and excreted into the urine at a relatively steady rate.
When kidney function decreases, less creatinine is excreted and concentrations increase in the blood. With the creatinine test, a reasonable estimate of the actual GFR can be determined.
