Glomerular filtration rate of 148 ml/min is elevated and the need for treatment depends on the situation. If it is caused by kidney disease such as diabetic nephropathy in early stage, then it needs to be treated; if it is caused by physiological reasons such as pregnancy, then it does not need to be treated.
Glomerular filtration rate is the amount of ultrafiltrate produced by both sides of the kidney per unit of time (per minute), which is one of the important indicators of renal function. Generally its normal reference range is 80~120ml/min.
Glomerular filtration rate of 148ml/min is elevated, and the reason for its increase can be seen in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy caused by a variety of pathological factors increase glomerular filtration rate; part of the tiny lesion type nephrotic syndrome due to the decrease in colloid osmotic pressure of the glomerular capillaries, and glomerulonephritis is light, so filtration is increased. At this time, all need to be actively treated to slow down the progress of the disease and improve the patient’s prognosis.
Glomerular filtration rate can also be increased during pregnancy, which is a compensatory response, and usually returns to normal after delivery, so generally do not need treatment.
For the glomerular filtration rate increased to 148ml/min, if the patient does not have obvious symptoms and does not belong to pregnancy, and still higher than the normal range after repeated checkups, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to find out the cause of the disease and treat it as soon as possible, to avoid delaying the condition.
