Recently a patient with kidney cysts found that his GFR became low when he had a blood test. He was confused. Could kidney cysts cause low GFR on blood test? In the following, you may find the answer.

How kidney cysts cause low GFR?

GFR is short for glomerular filtration rate. It is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working. When your GFR becomes low, it indicates that your kidney function declines. As we all know, kidney cysts become bigger and bigger with time going. They will damage kidney structure and affect your kidney function. Though you take medicine to control your symptoms, it can not stop the kidney cysts from growing. That is why your GFR becomes lower and lower.
