Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

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.
