Question

GFR of ____ mL/min  is characteristic of kidney failure.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A GFR of less than 15 mL/min is considered indicative of kidney failure. At this stage, the kidneys have lost nearly all of their ability to function and require dialysis or kidney transplantation to replace their lost function. GFR values between 15 and 59 mL/min indicate various degrees of kidney damage and chronic kidney disease. GFR values of 60 to 89 mL/min are considered within the normal range for healthy adults.
