GFR is not a count but an estimated filtration rate for kidneys and that is heavily dependent on the level of hydration at the time blood is drawn, as context may make a huge difference. Your doc and not the Internet remains best in placing such results in proper context, indiscriminate Internet use exacerbates health related anxiety.
