What is a normal eGFR level?
The short answer
A typical US lab prints a normal eGFR range of 60–120 mL/min/1.73m². That range exists to catch disease, not to describe your best.
Nobody we follow has said what your eGFR should be. It comes up on the shows, but never with a number.
What eGFR measures
An estimate of how much blood your kidneys filter each minute. It comes from your creatinine, age and sex.
Clinicians use it to stage kidney function. It turns a raw waste value into a filtration rate.

Common questions
What is a normal eGFR level?
Most US labs print 60–120 mL/min/1.73m². Your report grades you against that range. It exists to catch disease, not to describe your best.
What does your eGFR number mean?
On a typical lab range, under 60 mL/min/1.73m² is low, 60 to 120 is normal and over 120 is high. Your own report prints its range next to your number, and that is the one your lab uses. Nobody we follow has drawn a line inside that range.
What does the eGFR test measure?
An estimate of how much blood your kidneys filter each minute. It comes from your creatinine, age and sex. Clinicians use it to stage kidney function. It turns a raw waste value into a filtration rate.
Why is there no target here?
Because nobody we follow has named a number for eGFR. If that changes, it will be here.
