What is the normal value range for Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)?

50-100 ml/min
90-130 ml/min
75-125 ml/min/1.73m2
100-150 ml/min

The correct answer is: 75-125 ml/min/1.73m2

The normal value range for Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is considered to be approximately 90-130 ml/min/1.73m². GFR is a crucial indicator of kidney function, representing the rate at which blood is filtered through the glomeruli of the kidneys. The standardization of this measurement to 1.73 m² of body surface area is vital because it allows for accurate comparisons across individuals of different sizes. A GFR within this range indicates well-functioning kidneys, essential for maintaining homeostasis in the body through the filtration of waste and excess substances from the blood. Values outside of this range can indicate potential kidney dysfunction. The other choices either do not account for the necessary standardization to body surface area or provide values that are lower or higher than the accepted normal range, highlighting the importance of using the correct reference to ensure accurate assessment of renal function.
