I am 58yrs old and sufferring from diabetics and high blood pressure. Recently on my own I did a medical test to check my kidneys and the report was as fllows.
Serum creatinine - 0. 60 mg/dl
estimated GFR - 147 ml/min/1.73 '2
To my knowledge average e-GFR should be 93 . Is this very high and should I consult a physician
Your high eGFR could be probably from hypertension. In hypertension transmitting pressure into afferent arteriole can be increased. So eGFR can be increased. I suggest you to control your blood pressure and sugar with regular medication. Additionally I suggest urine protein estimation, urine sugar estimation like investigation for you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
