the GFR EST is a blood test used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate without performing a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance. It is a calculation involving the patient's serum creatinine, age, and sex. If the patient is African American the equation is adjusted to account for an African American's greater muscle mass. A Non- AA or non- African American would not require the adjustment. GFR (glomerular filtration rate) Non- AA (African American)

it is normal gfr level.
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is calculated a little differently for African-American patients because African Americans have more muscle mass than other groups.
Having a high GFR (glomerular filtration rate) means that your kidneys are filtering blood at a higher rate than normal. The term "black blood" is not typically used in medical contexts; it may be a misunderstanding or an informal term. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider for a thorough explanation and any necessary follow-up.
Your estimated GFR is 113 because your kidney function is good.
yes
Dilation of the afferent arteriole increases blood flow into the glomerulus, leading to an increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) due to the increased pressure on the filtration membrane. This can result in increased urine production.
Glomerular Filtration RateThe GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate, and assesses kidney function.
