A member asked:

High creatinine(1.24) low egfr non afro (53) what does this mean? previous hx of much pyleonephretis in past years. this is second test showing result

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CKD: Lower than normal GFR as computed by your creatinine using a formulae called MDRD. The efficiency of your kidney is lower than normal and by definition is chronic kidney disease. You should see a kidney doc to determine the cause. A full history and physician followed by a urine test and other test may be needed. Best of luck.
