What does Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) 54 mean? What will happen to PKD patients with GFR 54? Read through the article and you will find the answer.

What does GFR 54 mean?

The normal GFR ranges from 90-120mL/min/1.732m2 and there is no sign of kidney damage. GFR 54 is lower than the normal range, which indicates kidney problem.

What cause low GFR?

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic kidney disease in which multiple kidney cysts grow in kidneys. These cysts will enlarge over time if no effective treatment is applied. These enlarged kidney cysts will oppress kidney tissues and cause renal ischemia and anoxia state, which causes kidney function decline quickly. GFR is a test used to see if the kidneys are working correctly. This is the reason why PKD patients have GFR 54.

What can we expect from PKD GFR 54?

With kidney cyst, unhealthy kidneys cannot perform their function properly. Under such a condition, patients will experience various clinical symptoms like high blood pressure, frequent urination at night, poor appetite, anemia, itchy skin, swelling, blood in urine or hearing loss, etc.

Can we improve PKD patients’ life expectancy?

Yes, of course. To improve life expectancy, we need to shrink kidney cyst and improve renal function. Here we recommend Interventional Therapy for PKD. This therapy is a kind of minimally invasive therapy performed under the guide of medical imaging equipment. According to patients’ special medical condition, correct Chinese herbs are chosen and micronized. With internventional therapy, these herbs can come to kidney nidus directly and then play the function of shrinking kidney cysts and improving renal function. When renal function is enhanced, patients can have a relatively longer life and live a high quality life.
