Question 1

i am 63 years old 52 120 lbs. my modified cockcroft-gault crcl is 64. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: I would average several of the eGFRs to get a good estimate. Best estimate is to do a 24 hr urine GFR. I do not have the normal values for the lab you used.  Also may need your ethnicity but there is a debate about using that in the eGFR calculation. Discuss with your Dr who knows you and what meds you are on and if you have other problems that affect eGFR such as high blood pressure/diabete.
