Hi you egfr is for your kidney score and filtration rate if it is your score is low that may mean your kidneys are not working properly x
oh thanks. no idea why low sodium and potassium too. had low sodium before , hospital , had to reduce fluid intake . guess ill take urine sample too next week . worried now.. whats high end creatanine mean
The GP will ask for a urine sample and explain about the numbers. Meanwhile, go to kidney.org and check it out
The ACR you mentioned is known as an Albumin/Creatinine Ratio. The ACR is used to assess kidney function. When the kidneys are damaged, they may allow more albumin to leak into the urine. A high ACR can indicate kidney damage.
thankyou all for replying . best wishes
