Hi,
Prior to receiving my latest lab results in the mail I spoke to my doctor about the results via a phone call. He said that everything other than uric acid looked great including kidney function, liver function, blood glucose, and cholesterol. I received the results in the mail today and the uric acid reading was 8.4 ( down from 9.7 a year ago), albumin was 5.3 and eGFR was 76.
I am 43 years old. Based on average reported statistics my eGFR appears to be low, although my doctor said my kidney function was fine. Is an eGFR of 76 low for some my age ? And do I have cause for concern ? I believe my eGFR was around 85 last year.
