What it is

An estimate of how much blood your kidneys filter each minute, calculated from creatinine, age and sex.

It is the headline number for kidney function, and the one worth tracking over years rather than months.

Reading the number

It is an estimate rather than a measurement, and it inherits every quirk of the creatinine underneath it. Small differences between tests are normal.
