The eGFR test measures how well your kidneys are filtering your blood. I don't personally know anything about this, but the following website has what you're looking for...>60 is good.

Nightowl,
The eGFR Test is an Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate.My Kidney's are filtering Blood properly.Biochemically,they are doing what they need to be doing.I was unaware my Doctor ordered the Test until I picked up copies of my latest Labs.

Thank you for the link provided
