The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood, calculated based on your creatinine levels, age, gender, and other factors.
This test is often performed when individuals experience symptoms suggestive of kidney dysfunction such as urinary changes, swelling in the feet, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Also, the Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) test is critical for individuals who have chronic kidney disease or are at risk of developing it. It helps doctors to categorize the level of kidney disease and decide on the appropriate management or treatment.
No fasting is required for this test; you can eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, tell your age, gender, and height to the sample collection professional ( phlebotomist) at the time of sample collection.
What does Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) measure?
Contains 2 testsThe Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) test measures two different parameters of the kidney function test: Creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate in the blood. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscles’ wear and tear during energy production. The kidneys remove creatinine from the body by filtering it from the blood and releasing it into the urine. Therefore, blood creatinine levels are an indicator of how well the kidneys are functioning in filtering and removing waste products from the blood. On the other hand, eGFR numerates how much blood passes through the glomeruli, the tiny filters in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood, each minute.
Creatinine levels in conjunction with estimated glomerular filtration rate along with other factors such as age, gender, and body size provide a more comprehensive indicator of kidney function.

Serum Creatinine
The Serum Creatinine test measures the level of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscles’ wear and tear during energy production. The kidneys remove it from the body by filtering it from the blood and releasing it into the urine. Therefore, blood creatinine levels indicate how well the kidneys are functioning in filtering and removing waste products from the blood. Generally, higher creatinine levels in the blood may indicate reduced kidney function, while lower levels may suggest decreased muscle mass.
