Hypertonia is a term sometimes used synonymously with spasticity in the literature surrounding damage to the central nervous system, namely upper motor neuron lesions.
If GFR is over 90, the kidneys are healthy and functioning normally. A kidney score of 60-89 means the person should be monitored, and if GFR scores falls to less than 60 for a three-month period, that is an indicator of chronic kidney disease. More than 26 million Americans have chronic kidney disease and most donât know it.
The level of creatinine in the blood is a useful guide to kidney function, but GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is a more accurate measure. Blood creatinine can be used to estimate GFR (eGFR) using age, sex, and race, and this is often calculated by computer and reported along with the creatinine blood test. If it isn't but you know the creatinine result, you can use our eGFR calculator. Normal GFR is approximately 100mls/min/1.73m 2. The kidneys filter approximately 100mls/min, or 150 litres per day.
