A member asked:
My gfr came back at 62 but my dr. said that is within normal range for my age (30) i have read it should be above 90. should i be concerned at all?

Yes: You are right, a healthy person of your age should have a gfr above 90. Less than 60 is consider stage 3 kidney insufficiency. It would be prudent to consult a nephrologist. See this site for more info: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007305.htm
