GFR: Not sure whether you are referring to actual number (i.e. filtration rate) vs stage of kidney disease. Have a look at this article but recommend you ask the doctor who ordered the test to explain what it means. https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/gfr

Normal eGFR?: What is a normal number for gfr scale. Mine was 2.5. I also have I s. ANS: not certain what l s is. Live video consult with you lab report sheet and can give better answer. If really 2.5 you will need to go on dialysis soon. But better to discuss.
