A member asked:
Is gfr for kidneys a reliable way to assess kidney function in someone already diagnosed with high bp? if so, is a gfr of 50 for 4 months of concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A eGFR of 50 is a cause for concern and you should consult a nephrologist for assessment and measures to protect your kidney function. Protein in urine is another of the commonly used tests for kidney function.

Need advice and knowledge on these blood tests readings. 1.1 creatinine. GFR 88. Upon research, those are concerning for decline in kidney function. How serious do you take these blood test results when overall healthy?
My creatinine level and bun are normal. My GFR is lower than last year (50). I am caucasian. Should I be concerned about kidney function? Thanks.
Where GFR is low 52 to 59 in more than 3mos...and albumin is 3.4 to 3.6.. could this mean kidney disease? Does albumen NEED to be either high or low? Can albumen be on lower range of normal spectrum?
