What does GFR 24 Stand for

What does GFR 24 stand for? When some kidney disease patients have an examination such as ECT, they will be told that the GFR is 24 and they wan to know in detail what is GFR and the meaning of the number.
Renal function, in nephrology, is an indication of the state of the kidney and its role in renal physiology. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. Creatinine clearance rate (CCr or CrCl) is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine per unit time and is a useful measure for approximating the GFR. Creatinine clearance exceeds GFR due to creatinine secretion, which can be blocked by cimetidine. Internationally, most doctors judge the renal function of kidney disease patients by GFR(Glomerular Filtration Rate), which they consider is more accurate than the level of serum creatinine considering serum creatinine can be influenced by other factors such as food they take in.
What does GFR 24 stand for?When it comes to talking about this question, we should at first tell different GFR(Glomerular Filtration Rate) in the different stages of chronic kidney disease(CKD). Generally, chronic kidney disease(CKD) can be divided into 5 stages and the GFR(Glomerular Filtration Rate) in each stage go as follows:
Stage 1 GFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73m2
Stage 2 GFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73m2
Stage 3 GFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73m2
Stage 4 GFR 15-29 mL/min/1.73m2
Stage 5 GFR <15 mL/min/1.73m2 (or Dialysis)
From the above, we can get a conclusion that GFR 24 means that Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) patients have developed into stage 4 of CKD. Metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia will appear at that time; also, in some cases, patients will have declined sexual desire. What's more, kidney function declines quickly in this stage, so it indicates the damages on renal intrinsic cells. Patients in this stage are even under dialysis. Considering the cost and suffering from dialysis, they all want to acquire a better treatment. As a matter of fact, dialysis can not treat Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD). In other words, dialysis can not repair the damaged intrinsic cells and tissues, thus stopping the renal fibrosis.
In this passage, we will mainly introduce you a new therapy which can help Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) stage 4 reduce the times of dialysis every week and even help them get rid of dialysis. The therapy is the combination of stem cell transplant and Micro-Chinese MedicineOsmotherapy. Firstly, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is applied, which creates a good and clean environment for the transplant of the stem cell. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy contains active materials which can help clear the immune complex and repair the damaged intrinsic cells by supplying more oxygen and nutrition. As we know, in stage 4 of Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD), there must be some necrotic intrinsic cells which lead to the shrink of the kidney. At this moment, we should use stem cell transplant. Stem cell can differentiate into the type of necrotic cells and do work like them.
In a word, the combination of stem cell transplant and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can give patients with stage 4 of Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) new hope, and help them get rid of the suffering from dialysis.
