Chest pain may be caused by poor blood flow to the heart leading to angina, or by a sudden blockage in the coronary arteries resulting in a heart attack. Other causes of chest pain can include indigestion, reflux, muscle strain, inflammation in the rib joints near the breastbone, and herpes zoster or shingles.
Your GFR tells your doctor your stage of kidney disease and helps the doctor plan your treatment. If your GFR number is low, your kidneys are not working as well as they should.
The estimated GFR (eGFR) is reported in two categories: African American and non-African American. Reporting is as follows:*For patients who have values within the normal reference range, the patient eGFR result is reported as greater than 60 mL/min/1.73m2.*eGFR results. The interpretive guidelines for numeric values are as follows: *eGFR 30 - 59 = Stage 3 CKD (chronic kidney disease), or moderate kidney disease.For patients who have values within the normal reference range, the patient eGFR result is reported as greater than 60 mL/min/1.73m2. *eGFR results.
