If you mean: 55/100 then it is 0.55 as a decimal
If you mean 30/55 then it is 6/11 in its lowest terms
55 milli meters
If you mean 55/5 divided by 300 then the answer is 11/300
LV = 55
it is normal gfr level.
Your estimated GFR is 113 because your kidney function is good.
yes
Glomerular Filtration RateThe GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate, and assesses kidney function.
A GFR or the glomerular filtration rate that is 82 means that someone has 2nd stage disease in the kidney. The function of the kidney that is normal declines through age.
Normal GFR varies with a person's age and weight. In general, a GFR above 100 would be considered normal in an otherwise healthy person. However, I must emphasize that GFR alone cannot be an accurate measure of kidney function. In order for a clinician to accurately assess GFR they need to look at the entire clinical picture. Thus, in the presence of some disease process a GFR of 113 might be abnormal. Doctors can never look at just one lab value and draw a conclusion. We need the entire clinical picture.

GFR means glomerular filtration rate. It is a way to measure the kidney's function. In adults the GFR should be somewhere between 100 and 130, while in children it should be about 110. Since the GFR is a measure of the kidney's function it is used to help classify kidney disease. GFR > 90 with no signs of kidney damage like proteinurea = normal GFR > 90 with signs of kidney damage = Category 1 GFR 60-90 = Category 2 (mild) GFR 30-60 = Category 3 (moderate) GFR 30-15 = Category 4 (severe) GFR < 15 = Category 5 (kidney failure)
Est GFR is the estimated glomerular filtration rate. It's a calculation based on blood chemistry values to guess the patient's kidney function.

GFR stage 2 is mild chronic kidney disease.
No, you don't need to fast for the GFR, but there are usually other tests completed with the GFR that require fasting. Check with your health care provider for information specific to your situation.
