A member asked:
Blood work showed glomerular filt rate is 87 should i be concerned?

Maybe: Depends upon what your prior numbers were and how quickly these have changed. 87 may be a completely normal number and related to age associated decline.

Depends: A one time reading of 87 is not a cause for concern. It would be prudent to repeat it in 3-6 months.
