On a lab test result, is the gfr number my result for chronic kidney disease? i hope that makes sense, not sure how to word it. my result was 88. does that mean my kidneys are functioning normal?

At your age, eGFR should be 90 or higher; however, a result of 88 should be fine as long as your BSA is 1.72 m2 or higher. For a thorough evaluation, a person with eGFR of 90 +/- 5 cc/min should have normal urinalysis and kidney imaging test in order to rule out chronic kidney disease stage 1 which is defined of GFR above 90 cc/min with abnormal urinalysis and/or kidney imaging test(s). Take care.
