Very confused how come i see on here egfr for normal is at least 90 but quest labs and the hospital here in miami all say above 60 is normal?

Equation for eGFR: The "normal" range depends in part on the equation used to estimate GFR (egfr). Some equations do not give a numerical value above 60, others go up to 90. Normal GFR should be greater than 90. It may be time to discuss the matter with your doctor.
