The Importance of Your eGFR Rate

CKD is not usually diagnosed until it is in late stages. Early detection is key to promoting better outcomes. Most people don’t have symptoms in early CKD, so you need to rely on lab results. Your Kidney Number is determined by your eGFR rate (estimated Glomerular Filtration rate) which tells you how well your kidney is working. A few lifestyle changes can help improve or slow CKD. Through education you can empower yourself with the knowledge to make these lifestyle changes.
