Hello
You have normal eGFR value.Normally it is 60 or more.
EGFR is used to screen and detect early kidney damage and to monitor kidney status.
In both the results there is slight variation in eGFR and this is acceptable.
Low eGFR number may suggest kidney disease.
It is good that your thyroid status is normal now.
Your kidney also appears normal.
Get well soon.
