Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered by professionals to be the best measure of kidney function. Knowing someone's GFR lets them figure out their stage of kidney disease. Doctors will use this information to plan their patient's treatment.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be calculated by measuring any chemical that has a steady level in the blood, and is freely filtered but neither reabsorbed nor secreted by the kidneys. The rate therefore measured is the quantity of the substance in the urine that originated from a calculable volume of blood. The GFR is typically recorded in units of volume per time
