Doctor said test came neg, gfr(ml/min/1.73m2) what does my result means .thank you?

Sounds good: There's sometimes confusion; a "negative" test generally means you do not have the problem that was tested for. Estimates of glomerular filtration rate bases on the more basic labs like urea nitrogen and creatinine are really more suited for epidemiologic study than for screening seemingly-healthy folks. The ml/min/1.73m2 that you cite is the units, not the result. Hope this is what you needed.
