Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Normal GFR is ~125ml/min/1.73m2 BSA. It decreases with age, especially after 40 years of age.
S.creatinine varies considerably depending upon age, gender, diet,mobilisation and drugs. But, it is simple way to calculate eGFR.
So, measure your S. creatinine and consult your nephrologist or you can communicate with me also.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
