GFR Price in Bangladesh

What is GFR?

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) measures how well your kidneys filter blood, specifically removing waste and excess fluids. It's a critical test for assessing kidney function and diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD).

GFR is calculated using blood creatinine levels, age, sex, and race. The normal GFR range is typically 90-120 mL/min/1.73m², but it decreases with age.

A low GFR indicates reduced kidney function. No special preparation is usually required, though hydration and avoiding certain medications may be recommended.

Potential risks are minimal, typically limited to blood draw discomfort. Conditions like dehydration or high protein intake can affect results, so accurate interpretation considers clinical context.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
