A member asked:
What is good renal function in your later years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Renal function: The better the renal function, the better the overall prognosis. As people age, they lose some renal function (change in muscle mass, senescence of the kidney). Each person is individual as to what function they need to survive and function well. Usually a creatinine clearance above 30% is enough to keep one off dialysis and functioning well, but it depends on the patient.
