HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
CRP stands for c reactive protein.
eGFR- stands for estimated glomerular filtration rate
CRP is an inflammatory marker and is increased if there is any reason for inflammation in the body. Inflammation can be due to infection, trauma, allergies, cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases.
Your value is in the normal range.
eGFR takes a look at the kidneys, it determines how well the kidneys are working.
The eGFR is slightly reduced
I hope this helps
