The normal range of GFR, adjusted for body surface area, is 100–130 average 125 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) in men and 90–120 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) in women younger than the age of 40. In children, GFR measured by inulin clearance is 110 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) until 2 years of age in both sexes, and then it progressively decreases. After age 40, GFR ...

The typical human reference ranges for serum creatinine are 0.5 mg/dL to 1.0 mg/dL (about 45 μmol/L to 90 μmol/L) for women and 0.7 mg/dL to 1.2 mg/dL (60 μmol/L to 110 μmol/L) for men. The significance of a single creatinine value must be interpreted in light of the patient's muscle mass.
The GFR is derived from the serum creatinine and is proportional to 1/creatinine, i.e. it is a reciprocal relationship; the higher the creatinine, the lower the GFR. It reflects one aspect of kidney function, how efficiently the glomeruli – the filtering units – work. The normal GFR is 90–120 ml/min.
The primary cause of the lack of clarity surrounding the GFR levels that indicate hyperfiltration is their strong reliance on age. [12] Glomerular hyperfiltration has traditionally been characterized as an elevated whole-kidney GFR, or a GFR greater than two standard deviations above the mean GFR of healthy individuals. [2]
To clinically stage the degree of damage in this (and any) kidney disease, the serum creatinine is determined and used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate . Normal eGFR is equal to or greater than 90ml/min/1.73 m 2. [34] On biopsy, the following classification has been suggested by Tervaert et al.: [35]

A creatinine of 0.7 mg/dL is normal for a small frail woman. A level of 2.0 mg/dL would indicate severe kidney disease in the old woman. The more muscle mass you have, and the more you use those muscles, the more more creatinine you should excrete. A frail old woman is expected to have very low creatinine levels.
