    What is Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Test?

    The Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) test is a blood test that measures how well your kidneys filter blood each minute. Situated near your waist on both sides of your spine, the kidneys contain tiny filtering structures called glomeruli. These structures help eliminate waste and excess fluid from your blood, which are then excreted through urine.

    When kidney function declines, often due to disease, the efficiency of this filtration process decreases. A low eGFR might indicate kidney failure, which could require interventions like dialysis or a kidney transplant.

    The eGFR test is used for several purposes:

    • Screening for kidney disease in asymptomatic individuals

    • Diagnosing kidney disease in symptomatic patients

    • Determining the progression stage of kidney disease

    • Tracking treatment progress in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD)

    • Evaluating kidney health in those on medications with potential kidney side effects

    • Assessing kidney function before starting treatments that could affect kidney performance

    This test is vital for detecting, diagnosing, and managing kidney health at various stages.

    Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Test Parameters

    The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) test assesses how efficiently the kidneys filter blood, expressed as the volume of blood filtered each minute.

    This test is a key tool for understanding kidney function. Although the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be directly measured, this process is intricate and rarely performed. Instead, eGFR is derived from a blood test that measures creatinine, a byproduct of normal muscle metabolism. Elevated blood creatinine levels may suggest reduced kidney function.

    The eGFR calculation considers individual factors like age, height, weight, and sex, alongside creatinine levels. Since creatinine production can vary with body size, diet, and physical activity, these additional factors help ensure greater accuracy in the results.

    Another approach involves using cystatin C, a protein made by all cells, to calculate eGFR. Unlike creatinine, cystatin C levels are not influenced by muscle mass, diet, or age, offering a potentially more accurate option for certain individuals. Combining creatinine and cystatin C measurements is an area of ongoing research to improve kidney health assessments.

    Overall, the eGFR test is vital for evaluating kidney function and identifying potential concerns.

    Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Test Preparation

    Keep these points in mind before scheduling an Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) test in Mumbai:

    • Prerequisites

    Fasting is not a requirement for an eGFR test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The test can be scheduled at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get This Test

    This test is ideal for those at risk of kidney disease, including individuals with conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney problems.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    While no specific preparation is necessary, it is advisable to seek advice from your doctor to ensure the test is appropriate for your needs.

    Why Take the Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Test?

    An eGFR test is crucial for detecting chronic kidney disease (CKD) in its early stages, as the condition often lacks clear symptoms initially. It is particularly recommended for individuals at greater risk of CKD, including:

    • Diabetes : A major factor contributing to long-term kidney damage.

    • High Blood Pressure : Can damage kidney blood vessels over time.

    • Overweight/Obesity : Places added strain on the kidneys.

    • Age Over 60 : Older age increases susceptibility to kidney disorders.

    • Family History of CKD or Kidney Failure : Inherited risk factors can elevate the likelihood of CKD.

    CKD often results from an interplay of physical, environmental, and social factors.

    Symptoms of CKD typically emerge in advanced stages and may include:

    • Altered urination frequency (too frequent or too infrequent)

    • Chronic itching

    • Extreme tiredness

    • Swelling in limbs such as the feet, legs, or arms

    • Nausea and vomiting

    • Muscle cramps

    • Reduced desire to eat

    Early testing with eGFR allows for the detection of kidney issues before they escalate.
