A member asked:
I am 48; prediabetic (a1c is 6.4 )my doctor says my gfr of 89 is normal. is this accurate ?

GFR kidney marker: GFR declines with age. What is considered "normal" at age 50 might be considered low at age 40. The commonly accepted cutoff for "chronic kidney disease" has been =90. If urine microalbumin/Cr is normal (not spilling protein in urine), urinalysis is normal, and GFR is stable, 89 likely to be OK.
