What Might High GFR And Moderate Squamous Cells In Blood Test Indicate?

I had a blood test performed and the result indicated a high GFR and Moderate squamous cells. What might this indicate? In addition I am having a biopsy of a lymph node in my neck done in a week to determine if I might have cancer. Can the two be connected and what might I be worried about.

Nephrologist 's  Response
Dear Patient,

high GFR is in general a normal finding and it is a bad news in diabetics (indicate the first phase of diabetic nephropathy) and obese people (hyperfiltration). May be also a lab error if 24h collection was not correct. Squamous cells may indicate a contamination from genital secretions. However, I suggest to perform ultrasound of the pelvis and pap test. In order to have a more complete anwer, post your medical history or other complaints, and the exact value of GFR. Take care,
