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.
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best measure of kidney function. The GFR is the number used to figure out a personâs stage of kidney disease. A math formula using the personâs age, race, gender and their serum creatinine is used to calculate a GFR. A doctor will order a blood test to measure the serum creatinine level. Creatinine is a waste product that comes from muscle activity. When kidneys are working well they remove creatinine from the blood. As kidney function slows, blood levels of creatinine rise.
