A member asked:
Is a est.gfr level of 85 normal for a "non-african american" 29yr old female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Close enough: Egfr of 90 or more would be normal. 85 may be within the error of measurement. Given your history of autoimmune illness it would be prudent to keep a close watch on your serum creatinine as mixed connective tissue disease can affect kidneys.
