eGFR (Non-African American)
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) approximates how much blood the kidneys filter per minute, calculated from creatinine, age, and sex. Older versions of this equation included a race coefficient — the 2021 CKD-EPI update removed it for most uses.
Why it matters: eGFR is the most common screening number for kidney function. Higher values indicate the kidneys are filtering well; lower values can reflect reduced filtering capacity. It is interpreted alongside creatinine, urine markers, and overall context.

What is eGFR (Non-African American)?
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) approximates how much blood the kidneys filter per minute, calculated from creatinine, age, and sex. Older versions of this equation included a race coefficient — the 2021 CKD-EPI update removed it for most uses.
What might a high or low eGFR (Non-African American) mean?
eGFR is the most common screening number for kidney function. Higher values indicate the kidneys are filtering well; lower values can reflect reduced filtering capacity. It is interpreted alongside creatinine, urine markers, and overall context.
What can affect eGFR (Non-African American)?
It may be higher with: Improved kidney function, Hydration. It may be lower with: Kidney damage, Dehydration.
