Gr-1

GR-1, or glomerular filtration rate 1, is a measurement used to assess how well your kidneys are functioning. It estimates the rate at which your kidneys filter blood, removing waste and excess fluids. A normal GR-1 indicates healthy kidney function, while a lower value may suggest kidney impairment or disease. Typically calculated through blood tests that measure waste products like creatinine, GR-1 helps doctors evaluate kidney health, diagnose potential problems early, and monitor the effectiveness of treatments. It’s a vital indicator in managing conditions such as chronic kidney disease.
