Please tell me how my kidneys function based on reading my lab report. how to know the percentage of kidney functionality ?

Use MDRD formula: Go to a website and look for mdrd formula. Plug in your creatinine number from blood report, age, sex and race and you will get egfr number which is approximately the percent of your kidney function.
