For an adult male, the normal range for eGFR (CKD-EPI equation) is:
90 mL/min/1.73 m² or higher → considered normal kidney function
eGFR ranges explained:
≥ 90: Normal (if no other signs of kidney disease)
60–89: Mildly reduced (can be normal with aging, usually monitored)
30–59: Moderate kidney dysfunction
15–29: Severe kidney dysfunction
< 15: Kidney failure
Most importantly, eGFR naturally declines with age. A slightly lower value in older adults may still be acceptable if there are no symptoms or other abnormal kidney markers.
This test should always be interpreted by a doctor along with creatinine levels, urine tests, symptoms, and medical history.
