Information

eGFR, is an abbreviation of estimated glomerular filtration rate, which is used when assessing kidney function. It estimates the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using formulas based on the plasma concentration of creatinine and/or cystatin C and their mean value.

In this test, eGFR is estimated based on the value of Cystatin C, with a low eGFR estimate, Cystatin C is high, which means impaired kidney function.

The markers of the kidney tests measure values of various kidney markers that can provide answers as to whether you have reduced kidney function. Get answers to your values - order and make an appointment for a blood test.
