40771922 - Glomerular filtration rate/1.73 sq M.predicted [Volume Rate/Area] in Serum, Plasma or Blood

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working. Specifically, it estimates how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute. Glomeruli are the tiny filters in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood. 1

8795

In the OMOP vocabulary 8795 is a Standard Concept that represents the unit milliliter per minute (mL/min)

Plausible Low Value

5

Plausible High Value

200.00

Rationale

According to the National Kidney Foundation, values less than 15 mL/min indicate kidney failure, while values well over 100 indicate normal kidney function (depending on age) 2. Values as low as 5 mL/min 3 have been observed in the literature as well.
The literature, combined with a data-driven approach to empirically establish possible low and high values, leads us to choose 5 and 200.
