A normal kidney level is typically considered an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 60 or higher. The eGFR measures how well your kidneys are filtering waste products from your blood.
However, a normal eGFR can vary depending on your age and other factors. For adults, the normal eGFR is usually more than 90. But, even in people without kidney disease, eGFR naturally declines with age.
Here's a breakdown of what different eGFR levels may mean:
- eGFR of 60 or higher: This is considered within the normal range.
- eGFR below 60: This may indicate kidney disease.
- eGFR of 15 or lower: This may indicate kidney failure.
Important Note: If you are concerned about your kidney health, it is always best to consult with a doctor.
