The full form of GRF is Glomerular Filtration Rate. It is a blood test to check how well the kidney is working. The major role of the kidney is to remove wastes and excess fluid from the blood. When kidneys are working well, wastes and excess fluid are removed from urine, but when the kidney is not working properly then unable to remove the waste and excess fluid and it builds up in the blood. GFR measures the amount of blood filtered by the kidney's glomerulus per minute. If the GRF count is low that means the kidney is not functioning properly.
Glomerulus filtration rate with several other factors, different formulas are used for adults and children. The formula includes age, sex, serum creatinine level, height, weight, and race.
