Read moreShort Name: GFRSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Albumin Excretion Rate (AER) is a measure or estimate of the quantity of microalbumin in urine. The CKD-EPI equation for non-African American individuals is used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR). To estimate the GFR for African Americans, multiply the provided GFR result by 1.16.
