What Is GFR and what Does It Mean for Kidney Function

GFR, short for Glomerular Filtration Rate, is an important index of evaluating kidney function. For a normal person, the GFR is about 125ml/min. However, the normal GFR can be slightly different according to age, sex, and body size. Also the value of GFR will decline with age.

What is GFR?

GFR is the amount of blood plasma filtered by the kidney unites per minute. It can show how much kidney function you have left. The value of GFR is calculated through creatinine level, age, sex, race and other factors.

How GFR is related with kidney function?

GFR is proved to be the most accurate way to detect kidney status. When a person’s kidney function declines because of kidney damage or kidney disease, then the GFR will decline and wastes products begin to building up in your body. In this way, severer symptoms will be triggered. The stages of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) are also divided by GFR.

Stage 1. GFR≥90: there will be an increasing risk of getting hypertension.
Stage 2. GFR 60-89: at this stage, patients will usually present hypertension and the PTH (Parathyroid Hormone) will be slightly high.

Stage 3. GFR 30-59: high blood pressure, reduction of calcium absorptions, reduction of phosphorus discharge, obvious elevation of PTH,there will be disorder in lipoprotein metabolism, reduction in idiopathic protein absorption, the occurrence of kidney anemia and the occurrence of left ventricular hypertrophy.

Stage 4. GFR 15-29: the above symptoms become more obvious and the metabolic acidosis will show up. Also, hyperkalemia and reduction of hypaphrodisia will occur.

Stage 5 GFR﹤15: this can also be called End-Stage Renal Failure. All the above symptoms will be much severer. Patients will be at dialysis. Symptoms like swelling, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting, itchy skin can be presented.
The decline of GFR, or in another way, the causes of CKD can be various kidney diseases such as Polycystic Kidney Disease, Diabetic Nepropathy, IgA Nephropathy and other kidney disorders.


When your GFR is tested to be lower than normal level, it is better for you to get further examination to identify whether you have kidney damage. If it does, please receive treatment as soon as possible. You can also get medical help and suggestion from our online service.

Serum Creatinine and Glomerulus Filtration Rate

When seeing a doctor, patients with kidney disease are usually to be asked about their serum creatinine and Glomerulus Filtration Rate (GFR). Both of the two parameters are important to patients with kidney disease. This article will introduce more information about that.

As an end product of muscle metabolism, creatinine is excreted solely by the kidneys. Its production rate is proportional to the patient's muscle mass and is, therefore, relatively stable over time. In adults, the normal range for plasma creatinine is 0.8 to 1.3 mg/dL (70 to 114 mmol/L) in men and 0.6 to 1.0 mg/dL in women. However, a creatinine level of 1.4 may represent normal renal function in a muscular man but may represent markedly decreased function in a cachectic person.

To some degree, serum creatinine can indicate renal function. Mostly, the higher the serum creatinine is, the less the renal function left. Therefore, doctors and patients try to lower serum creatinine by many ways.

There are three main ways for lowering high serum creatinine. Firstly, patients can choose western medicines. It is a kind of carbon plate in clinic. The tablet can absorb creatinine, then make the creatinine removed with digestion. Secondly, If the creatinine level reaches 2.0 or more in babies and 10.0 or more in adults, that is, the people have severe kidney impairment, dialysis treatment is urgently needed. Finally, the effective way is treat kidney disease. After kidney function improves, serum creatinine can be lowered naturally.

As for the renal function, we still need talk about GFR. Creatinine excretion can be used to estimate the GFR because creatinine is freely filtered at the glomerulus and is not reabsorbed. However, tubular secretion of creatinine does occur; although not clinically significant when renal function is normal, it accounts for an increasingly greater percentage of urinary creatinine as serum creatinine concentrations increase. As the true GFR falls to 40 mL/min (as measured by inulin clearance), the absolute amount of creatinine secreted can rise by more than 50%, accounting for as much as 35% of urinary creatinine. Blood Urea Nitrogen, Creatinine Clearance, age, gender and so on can affect GFR. So, GFR can indicate the stages of chronic kidney disease. If patients with kidney disease want to improve renal function, it is also improve their GFR.

Is There Herbal Remedy for Creatinine 5.1 and GFR 9

Q: My creatinine is 5.1 and my GFR is 9. I am not on dialysis by far. I am taking low-salt, low-fat and low-potassium diet. I want to know herbs that can be helpful. Can you provide more information?

A: From your condition, we can see that your GFR is already low, and for most patients, they may already be in dialysis. I think your good care on food do help a lot to maintain condition.

In most countries now, the only method for PKD is to wait, until it develops into kidney failure stage, and then start dialysis, and kidney transplant.

In recent years, we have developed the methods that can help shrink the cysts, and then reduce the pressure caused by the cysts, so the progress of the disease can be slowed down, your condition can be maintained, and then get improvements.

As to any oral medicines may be discharged out from the kidneys, which may increase the burden of the kidneys, so our hospital has used an external application of the traditional Chinese medicines, to let the medicines penetrate into the kidneys directly, and take effects on the cysts.

But before application of the medicines, the doctors need to examine your body, and then prescribe the medicines suitable for you, so the patients need to come to China if they want to have this treatment.


That's how we treat PKD patients. And expect Micro-Chinese medicines, for you are already in kidney failure stage, we suggest Immunotherapy as well, combined with Chinese medicines, to achieve a better result. If you need any help, please let me know. Contact mail: kidney-treatment@hotmail.com

GFR 13 and Creatinine 400, What Should I Do

GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) and creatinine are both two important estimate of how your kidneys work well. According to the stage of Chronic Kidney Disease, the condition of GFR 13 and creatinine 400 is about in the stage 4. In which situation, kidney functions drop down in a large degree and patients are suggested to adopt treatment as soon as possible.

What do GFR and creatinine indicate?

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working. Specifically, it estimates how much blood passes through the tiny filters in the kidneys, called glomeruli, each minute. Normally, when GFR is lower than 15, patient may need to take dialysis or will be on dialysis in near future.

Creatinine is the final products of muscle metabolism which is filtered out by kidneys in normal condition. If your creatinine is higher than normal level, it usually is an indicator of kidney function decline. Normally, creatinine level won’t increase until kidney function has lost 50% functions, so increased high level of creatinine usually shows that your kidney function are less than 50%.
Creatinine 400 is pretty high level, which indicates that much toxins and end products build up in your body. In this condition of creatinine 400, the person may experience high blood pressure, anemia, fatigue, poor sexual performance and sleep problem etc.

What should I do?

As the two values indicate your renal functions declines, so you should protect your present renal functions and replant new functional cells in your kidneys.
The conjunctive of Chinese herbal medicine and Immunotherapy is a good choice for renal function improvement. Chinese herbal medicine contains much herbs and plants which can nourish and protect the remaining renal function from further losing.

In this condition of GFR 13 and Creatinine level 400, only keeping the present renal functions can not maintain our body health. You need improve your renal function by replanting Immunotherapy to replace the dead cells. Immunotherapy are primary cells which can divide into any type of human cells, including all kinds of renal cells.


As long as remaining kidney functions can be protected and more renal functions can be improved, you are expected to live a full life in the future. More information, you can mail to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com or contact with our free online service directly.

Effective Way to Improve GFR

GFR is an indicator about how well the kidneys are removing toxins and wastes out the blood. It is measured in milliliter per minute. High GFR means the kidneys are working well and there is without accumulation of toxin and waste, on the contrary, low GFR shows the kidneys are working abnormally causing accumulation of toxin and waste. In order to avoid the bad influence caused by accumulation of toxin and waste, it is necessary to improve GFR.

What is the reason of declined GFR? GFR can reflect how much residual kidney function one has which can reflect how much healthy kidney tissues and intrinsic cells one has. So, GFR reflects the damage degree of kidneys. Like the other human’s organs and tissues, kidney tissues and cells also need blood and oxygen, without them, these tissues and cells will be damaged. Therefore, offering more blood and oxygen to release and avoid the situation lacking of blood and oxygen is the right way to improve GFR. This way would not only help to prevent the healthy kidney tissues and cells from damage but also give recovery of some damaged kidney tissues and cells.

How to offer more blood and oxygen? It is known that there are several reasons causing low or reduced blood flow volume. Firstly, narrowed or partly blocked blood vessels. Secondly, blood cot and some deposition of immune complex. Micro-Chinese Medicine is made of natural herbs and also is generated from Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has ability to dilate blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation, and prevent blood viscosity. When the blood vessels are unobstructed, and there are enough blood flowing through them, oxygen will be transported for granted. Then, the healthy kidney tissues and cells will escape from damage and the damaged kidney tissues and cells will get a chance to be repair. From this way, it is no doubt that GFR will be improved.


Just as a proverb says-"If God brought you to it, He will bring you through it", so, never give up in the silence war against kidney disease. Any question, email me at kidney-treatment@hotmail.com

PKD with high blood pressure and GFR 41

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder. Is a progressive disorder and a series of signs appear as kidney function decreases. A treatment for PKD with high blood pressure and GFR 41 will be recommended for the following content.

High blood pressure and GFR 41 in PKD

PKD is featured with a number of numerous cysts in the kidneys. With age, the cysts grow in both size and number. As a result, enlarged cysts cause pressure against kidneys and replace more and healthier nephrons. As a result, the kidneys will not be able to get enough blood supply.

When renal ischemia and anoxia occurs, kidneys produce more renin, a hormone that can contract blood vessels. Thus, high blood pressure will occur.

GFR measures how much blood is filtered by glomeruli nephrons. When the nephrons are damaged or are reduced in number, less blood will be filtered by kidneys, resulting in low GFR. GFR normal result between 90 ~ 125 ml / min. So GFR 41 is associated with very severe kidney damage in PKD.

Questions? Chat with our doctor online now!

Treatment for PKD with high blood pressure and GFR 41

Generally, some medications are prescribed for patients to reduce high blood pressure. However, medications alone are not enough.

As high blood pressure in PKD is of inadequate blood supply to kidneys, increasing blood supply to kidney is an important part of treatment. GFR for raising 41, a step is to increase blood supply to the kidneys and other objective is to restore the damaged kidney nephrons.

Micro-Chinese medicine Osmotherapy is recommended for patients with PKD with high blood pressure and GFR 41. It is a herbal therapy in developing Chinese traditional herbal medicine. This therapy can activate the self-healing system in the body to regenerate damaged nephrons, renal function improving dramatically.

Treatment of renal failure with creatinine 7.9 and IFG 7

creatinine and glomerular filtration rate are the two main indices of renal function. What are the treatment of renal insufficiency with creatinine 7.9 and IFG 7?

Creatinine 7.9 and IFG 7

Creatinine is the product of muscle metabolism and produces at a constant level. The normal range of creatinine in the blood is between 0.6~1.3. The kidney has the compensatory capacity, the creatinine level is not increased when kidney damage is to exceed 50%. Creatinine is severe kidney damage kidney failure.

The normal range of GFR is between 90 ~ 125ml / min. If a person, his IFG is 7, this means has the terminal kidney failure.

Treatment of renal failure with creatinine 7.9 and IFG 7

Dialysis is the common treatment for renal failure with creatinine 7.9 and IFG 7. She can remove creatinine from the body, then the level of creatinine in the body is reduced. However, not important in improving GFR. When the patient wears dialysis, the level of IFG not improve.

IFG is reflected when the glomerular filter blood. Therefore, to cure renal failure with creatinine 7.9 and IFG 7 needs to improve his kidney function and kidney damage repair.

The blood purification and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are the two treatments for this condition. These two treatments play different roles in the treatment of the condition.

The blood purification can filter waste and toxins from the body. Therefore, you can create a favorable domestic environment for the repair of renal tissues.

The Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a new medium in the basis of traditional Chinese medicine to cure kidney disease .he combines the effectiveness of Chinese herbal medicine and modern medical technology improves effect of drugs. Therefore, it can improve kidney function and kidney damage repair,

If you have any questions or need more information to understand their illness, please contact our online doctor, it's free and reality.

What does high creatinine level mean?

Dose high creatinine level meant dialysis? High creatinine level is usually related to kidney damages. Dialysis can keep patient’s life continue in the end stage of kidney disease. However, high creatinine level≠dialysis.

Creatinine is the metabolic wastes of muscle which should be filtered out by kidneys. High creatinine level can result from many triggers, such as intake of high protein food, strenuous sports and increase of muscle mass etc. However, if elevated creatinine keeps high level persistently, usually it indicates kidney dysfunction.

Not all kidney dysfunctions mean dialysis. Dialysis is recommended when kidneys rarely functions or patients suffer from extremely serious symptoms. Once creatinine elevates, it is an indicator that about 50% kidney functions have already gone. Usually, when creatinine level reaches 5~6, doctor will suggest patient to prepare for dialysis.

What should I do, if my creatinine level is high?

If your GFR is higher than 15, you are suggested to choose other alternatives to avoid dialysis. Dialysis is not necessary in this condition. Mainly there are two major treatments that help avoid dialysis by improve kidney functions.

● Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese herbal medicine was established, since 2500 years ago in ancient China. Chinese herbal medicine is famous for dilating blood vessels and dissolving stasis, which can help dredge renal blood vessels and improve renal Ishemia and Anemia. With more blood and oxygen, the damaged renal tissues will revive again to develop its functions.

● Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a kind of primary cell which can replace the kidney dead cells and tissues to improve kidney functions.
