A member asked:
What does it mean if your kidneys function at 85%?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
85% renal function: It means that you have lost 15% of your renal function and have class 1 chronic kidney disease. This should have no impact on your life. The loss could have come from diseases that attack the kidney, such as diabetes or hypertension amongst others. Ask the doctor who gave the results for more information.
