Each kidney has one million basic small filters called “nephrons.” Each nephron keeps important substances in the body while filtering out waste into urine. When the doctor or nurse says “estimated glomerular filtration rate” (eGFR) it’s a number that means how well your kidneys are filtering out wastes.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic kidney failure, means a gradual loss of kidney function over time. Chronic means the damage happens slowly and over a long period of time. Early detection can help prevent the progression of kidney disease. Learn about causes, symptoms, testing, and more.
A low estimated glomerular filtration rate suggests the presence of kidney disease, according to the American Kidney Fund. A person's eGFR is based on the results of a creatinine blood test.
There is no cure for chronic kidney disease (CKD), but steps may be taken in early CKD to preserve a higher level of kidney function for a longer period of time. If you have reduced kidney function: Make and keep your regular healthcare provider / nephrologist (kidney specialist) visits.
The mission of IRIS is to help veterinary practitioners better diagnose, understand and treat renal disease in cats and dogs. One of the organization's primary objectives is to establish an internationally recognized set of guidelines on the diagnosis and assessment of renal disease in small animals (IRIS Staging of Chronic Kidney Disease, CKD).
