Take the test. Your doctor can test your GFR by administering a creatinine blood test. Creatinine is a waste product present in your blood. If the amount of creatinine contained within a sample is too high, your kidneys' filtering ability (GFR) is likely too low.[1]Alternatively, your doctor might administer a creatinine clearance test, which measures the amount of creatinine in both your blood and urine.

Understand your numbers. Your test results are only one factor involved in calculating your GFR. Doctors also take into consideration your age, race, body size, and gender when determining the actual GFR rate.If your GFR is 90 mls/min/1.73m2 or greater, your kidneys are considered to be in good health.[2][3]GFR between 60 and 89 mls/min/1.73m2 puts you into stage two chronic kidney disease (CKD). A rate between 30 and 59 mls/min/1.73m2 puts you into stage three CKD, and rate between 15 and 29 mls/min/1.73m2 are considered stage four CKD.
Hope it helps!!
