Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -According to the National Kidney Foundation, normal results range from 90 to 120 mL/min/1.73 m2. Older people will have lower than normal GFR levels because GFR decreases with age. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glomerular Filtration rate is the amount of filtrate formed by the glomerulus per minute. The heart sends around 1 Litre blood to the kidneys every minute, which is processed by the glomerulus to form around 125 ml filtrate. Thus, it can be calculated to 180 litres of filtrate in 24 hours.
