Detailed explanation-1: -Normal GFR varies according to age, sex, and body size; in young adults it is approximately 120 ml/min/1.73 m2 and declines in normal individuals with age.
Detailed explanation-2: -out of the plasma (the glomerular filtration rate) is about 75–115 ml per minute for women and 85–125 ml per minute for men. The rate decreases with age. It is markedly reduced in such conditions as acute glomerulonephritis (also called Bright disease), which is characterized by inflammation of the small…
Detailed explanation-3: -The rate of blood flow filtered by all nephrons of both the kidneys per unit time is termed as glomerular filteration rate (GFR). Normal value of GFR in humans is 125 ml/min.
Detailed explanation-4: -In most healthy people, the normal GFR is 90 or higher. Here are typical ranges: A GFR above 60 is considered normal. A GFR below 60 may mean you have kidney disease.
