A good GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) for a woman is typically 90-120 mL/min/1.73m². This range indicates healthy kidney function. If the GFR falls below 60 mL/min/1.73m² for three months or more, it may indicate chronic kidney disease. Regular health check-ups are important to monitor kidney function and maintain overall health.
