Can you tell me what this means as i was sent this by text from my doctor. egfr and my reading was 82. i have no idea what this is apart from its something to do with my kidneys. can you help?

The eGFR is a measure of kidney function (efficiency). The expected eGFR for age 60-70 is 85 mL/min/1.73m2. The cited number is close to that number. Please discuss the test with your doc who can put it into context of why they ordered it.

It is an estimate of kidney function and the reading seems normal. You should have your doc explain the meaning of all tests done.
