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, or GFR, is the best test to measure your level of kidney function and determine if you have kidney disease and the staging of the disease. A higher GFR is associated with an increased risk for kidney disease. A study published in January 2010 in the âBritish Journal of Nutritionâ found that habitual coffee consumption of one or more cups of coffee per day was associated with increased levels of GFR.
