Normal GFR readings: A normal Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) ranges from 90 to 120 mL/min/1.73 m². A GFR above 90 is considered normal if there are no signs of kidney damage. Readings between 60-89 suggest mild kidney function decline, requiring monitoring. Levels below 60 may indicate significant kidney dysfunction and should prompt medical evaluation.
