Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal (kidney) glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time. [4] Central to the physiologic maintenance of GFR is the differential basal tone of the afferent (input) and efferent (output) arterioles (see diagram).
The severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is described by six stages; the most severe three are defined by the MDRD-eGFR value, and first three also depend on whether there is other evidence of kidney disease (e.g., proteinuria): 0) Normal kidney function – GFR above 90 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) and no proteinuria
EGFR may refer to: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a transmembrane receptor protein in humans Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of renal function
Diagnosis is by blood tests to measure the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and a urine test to measure albumin. [8] Ultrasound or kidney biopsy may be performed to determine the underlying cause. [5] Several severity-based staging systems are in use. [13] [14] Screening at-risk people is recommended. [8]

In countries that do not use the CHEM-7 panel, a UEC typically does not include chloride or bicarbonate as standard components, but will often include an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and in some laboratories, glucose is also not included but is available as a separate test.
