What Does Functioning Of Kidneys Being 110% Indicate?

I have a friend whose son is having kidney problems and the doctor told her his kidneys were functioning at 110%. She thought that was great, but I told her that I didn't think it meant that his kidneys were great, that maybe 110% was NOT good. Can you give me insight on this to help her understand it?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

He might be referring abnormal renal clearance. You can ask her regarding her GFR (glomerular filtration rate) which will provide a better tool for assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
