What eGFR and creatinine levels are considered stable in kidney disease?

"Stable" kidney disease generally means your eGFR and creatinine levels are not getting worse over time. Here's a quick breakdown of eGFR ranges by stage:

- Stage 1 — eGFR 90 or above (normal filtering, but some signs of damage)
- Stage 2 — eGFR 60–89 Show Full Answer

What eGFR and creatinine levels are considered stable in kidney disease?

"Stable" kidney disease generally means your eGFR and creatinine levels are not getting worse over time. Here's a quick breakdown of eGFR ranges by stage:

- Stage 1 — eGFR 90 or above (normal filtering, but some signs of damage)
- Stage 2 — eGFR 60–89 (mild damage, kidneys still functioning well)
- Stage 3a — eGFR 45–59 (mild to moderate damage)
- Stage 3b — eGFR 30–44 (moderate damage)
- Stage 4 — eGFR 15–29 (severe damage)
- Stage 5 — eGFR below 15 (kidney failure) For creatinine, normal levels are roughly 0.7–1.3 mg/dL for males and 0.6–1.1 mg/dL for females. Higher creatinine means lower eGFR, which signals more kidney damage.

Stability means these numbers stay consistent over time rather than declining. Regular monitoring with your doctor is the best way to track whether your kidney disease is stable or progressing.
