I am not sure this GFR is adjusted with your BSA or not. The reported number in the lab result is often not adjusted and it is usually stated as 63 cc/min/1.73 m2. 1.73 m2 is the average BSA. If you BSA is high, you adjusted GFR is higher or vice versa. For a person above 60 years old, an adjusted GFR above 60 cc/min is considered normal.
