A member asked:

I had a serious of blood tests done, kidney function liver thyroids it came back saying my gfr was high on borderline please explain thank you?

Not a problem: GFR is glomerular filtration rate. Having it be slightly high or on the high end of normal is not a problem. If it is low then that means that your kidneys are not functioning normally and that is a problem.
