    What is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and how is it related to creatinine levels?

    The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measures how well your kidneys are filtering blood. It’s often calculated using your creatinine levels, along with factors like age, gender, and body size. A low GFR indicates reduced kidney function and may be a sign of chronic kidney disease (CKD) or kidney damage. The GFR provides a more comprehensive assessment of kidney health than creatinine levels alone, helping doctors diagnose and monitor the progression of kidney disease.
