What Does A Low Glomerular Filtration Rate Mean In A Lab Test?
What does a low Glomerular Filtration Rate mean? The lab report says it should be greater than 60ml/min/1.73msq. Hers is 58.2, and it says it is indicative of chronic kidney disease. She is on several medications for anxiety, depression, cholesterol, and HBP. Is this serious and does she need to see her internist or change any meds? Mike

Hello
Yes according to the findings it means that the kidney function is compromised.First she should consult her treating doctor to evaluate the current treatment and dosage and after will decide if an internist is needed or not.
