Glomerular Filtration Rate, Estimated (eGFR) LabCorp

Changes in urination: This test measures how well your kidneys filter waste, which can help identify kidney problems causing changes in how often or how much you urinate.
Fatigue: Poor kidney function can lead to a buildup of toxins and anemia, causing fatigue, which this test can help detect.
Foamy urine: Foamy urine can indicate protein in your urine, a sign of kidney damage, which the eGFR test helps evaluate.
High blood pressure: Kidney function and blood pressure are closely linked, and this test helps determine if impaired kidney function is contributing to high blood pressure.
Kidney function decline: The eGFR test directly measures your kidney function, helping to identify and track any decline.
Swelling in feet/ankles: Reduced kidney function can cause fluid retention, leading to swelling, which this test can help diagnose.

This test estimates how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood. It uses your blood creatinine level, age, sex, and race to calculate a number that indicates kidney function. A lower eGFR can mean your kidneys aren't working as well as they should be.
