A member asked:
Is egfr of 62 in a 62 year-old male considered to be normal because it is greater than or equal to 60, or is the egfr considered to be chronic kidney disease (is it stage 1 or stage 2) because the egfr is less than 90?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A person at age 60 or older who has eGFR between 60-89 cc/min will be classified as CKD stage 2 if abnormal urinalysis OR renal imaging tests are present. A person with eGFR above 89 cc/min has stage 1 CKD if abnormal urinalysis OR renal imaging tests are present. But a person of 60 year old with eGFR above 59 cc/min + normal urinalysis AND renal imaging tests will not be classified as having CKD.

37 Female. Blood work showed eGFR of 75 and creatinine level of 86. Would this be an indication of chronic kidney disease or are these normal levels ?
In my Urinalysis, after 10 hours of fasting, the result shows three positive or plus signs in the PROTEIN. However, my CREATININE is within normal range. My eGFR is 80. Do these results show that I already have CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE?
