GRF Level
I was on the Davita.com site and punched in my creatinine level of 1.0 and it gave me a GFR of 66, but yet by blood work shows 59. How can it be that different, does anyone know? Thanks

ANA positive years ago
I think I might have asked this somewhere b4 but I can't remember where or what answer I got and I haven't the strength to search back through...
