Frequently asked questions

In which conditions is eGFR altered?

In the OSMF atlas eGFR is reported in Chronic Kidney Disease. It is reduced in 1 across 1 entries.

Is there a standard clinical test for eGFR?

The atlas entries for eGFR do not carry a LOINC code, which usually means the marker was measured with research assays or study-specific methods rather than a routine clinical panel.

Is one abnormal eGFR result diagnostic?

No single biomarker result is diagnostic of any of these conditions. Findings reflect group averages from published cohorts with substantial overlap between patients and controls.
