▸eGFR 94.6 mL/min/1.73 m² - KDIGO Stage G1
- An eGFR of 94.6 mL/min/1.73 m² is in the normal or high range (G1). Kidney function is intact, though kidney damage may still be present if there is protein in the urine, blood in the urine, or structural abnormalities.
- At this level, routine monitoring (annual creatinine and urine albumin test) is appropriate for people with risk factors like diabetes or hypertension.
- Normal serum creatinine for a male adult is approximately 0.7-1.2 mg/dL (62-106 micromol/L). Higher muscle mass raises creatinine without changing true GFR, so eGFR from creatinine alone can overestimate or underestimate function in people with unusual muscle mass.
Next stepAsk your doctor about a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) test to check for protein in the urine, which is an early sign of kidney damage even when eGFR is normal.
