Distribution of GFR in Apparently Healthy Indians

Reference ranges for measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) derived from one population may not apply to another, leading to potential misclassification of kidney health when universal cut-offs are applied. Establishing accurate, population-specific mGFR reference ranges helps precisely interpret individual results, tailor interventions, and potentially improve outcomes. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurements using exogenous filtration markers in Asians have suggested a lower GFR range than in Europeans and Americans 1-3.
