<p>Create lab page for GFR with EM-focused content and references</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Background==<br />
*Glomerular filtration rate; estimated (eGFR) from creatinine using CKD-EPI equation<br />
*Best single measure of overall kidney function<br />
<br />
==Normal Values==<br />
*Normal: >90 mL/min/1.73m2<br />
*Mild decrease: 60-89<br />
*Moderate decrease: 30-59<br />
*Severe decrease: 15-29<br />
*Kidney failure: <15<br />
<br />
==Interpretation==<br />
*eGFR is less reliable in acute settings (based on steady-state creatinine)<br />
*May overestimate function in elderly, malnourished, or low-muscle-mass patients<br />
*Important for drug dosing adjustments (e.g., [[Enoxaparin|enoxaparin]], [[Gabapentin|gabapentin]], renally cleared medications)<br />
*CKD staging is based on eGFR: Stage 3 = 30-59, Stage 4 = 15-29, Stage 5 = <15<br />
