Kidney Function: eGFR and Creatinine
The kidneys filter waste products from the blood and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance.
Two key markers used to assess kidney function are:
- Creatinine
- Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Together, these markers provide insight into how efficiently the kidneys are filtering the blood.
Why Kidney Function Matters
Healthy kidney function supports:
- Waste removal
- Fluid balance
- Blood pressure regulation
- Electrolyte stability
Monitoring kidney function helps identify potential concerns early.
