Kidney Tumor Glomerular Filtration Rate. Ckd is common with a population prevalence of 5 15 in most developed countries 1 2 even mild reductions in kidney function as depicted by egfr associate with a markedly higher risk of comorbidities and complications such as cardiovascular disease infections anemia fractures and possibly cancer kidney dysfunction leads to retention of metabolic waste.

Your gfr tells your doctor your stage of kidney disease and helps the doctor plan your treatment.
That means out of 100 people 74 people diagnosed with stage 2 kidney cancer are still alive five years after being diagnosed.

Glomerular filtration rate is 90 120 ml min approx. Sequential measurements from diagnosis to 12 to 17 years postoperatively showed that stage ii chronic kidney disease in patients who had undergone nephrectomy manifested as a negligible postoperative increase in mean sd estimated glomerular filtration rate 75 7 25 5 vs 79 4 3 9 ml min 1 73 m 2 p 0 6.
