Creatinine tests

GFR; Glomerular filtration rate

Normal values are as follows (normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories):

• Male: 97 to 137 ml/min.
• Female: 88 to 128 ml/min.

Note: ml/min. = milliliters per minute

Abnormal results are lower-than-normal GFR measurements, and they may indicate:

• Acute tubular necrosis
• Congestive heart failure
• Dehydration
• Glomerulonephritis
• Renal ischemia (blood deficiency)
• Shock
• Acute bilateral obstructive uropathy
• Acute nephritic syndrome
• Acute renal failure
• Chronic renal failure
• End-stage renal disease
• Rapidly progressive (crescentic) glomerulonephritis
• Wilms' tumor
