An estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) test assesses how well your kidneys are functioning by estimating the rate at which they filter waste from the blood. It is a key indicator of kidney health, helping to detect conditions like chronic kidney disease. An eGFR test can be used as routine monitoring, especially if you have risk factors for kidney problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Understanding your eGFR can provide valuable insights into your overall kidney function and wellbeing.

You may be prescribed an eGFR test as an essential part of a full body health screening. It can help you uncover key insights into your health and the overall functioning of your kidneys. Consider an eGFR test to:

• Assess your overall health and wellbeing and provide a benchmark for future monitoring.

• Uncover key information about how efficiently your kidneys are filtering waste from the blood.

• Proactively monitor and detect early signs of kidney problems, particularly if you have risk factors or a family history of kidney disease.

• If you have a pre-existing kidney condition, incorporating regular eGFR testing into your health routine is essential for ongoing monitoring.

An eGFR test evaluates kidney function by estimating the rate at which the kidneys filter waste from the blood. This test assesses how efficiently the kidneys are filtering waste products, indicating their overall function.

For individuals with conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, the eGFR test is a valuable tool for ongoing monitoring of kidney health.

Your Results Report (available online and through the post) explains each one of your test results in detail, with no confusing medical jargon. You’ll receive the actual reading for every test we've run, with each result given a 'flag' of green, amber or red.

Green results are within the recommended range for your age and sex; amber results are a little outside what we'd normally expect; and red results are further outside the norm.

Where a result is amber or red, we'll give follow-up advice on what to do next - whether that's making lifestyle changes, simply monitoring the result, or checking with a Doctor for further investigation.
