What are the stages of CKD?
Five stages of chronic kidney disease
- Stage 1 with normal or high GFR (GFR > 90 mL/min)
- Stage 2 Mild CKD (GFR = 60-89 mL/min)
- Stage 3A Moderate CKD (GFR = 45-59 mL/min)
- Stage 3B Moderate CKD (GFR = 30-44 mL/min)
- Stage 4 Severe CKD (GFR = 15-29 mL/min)
- Stage 5 End Stage CKD (GFR <15 mL/min)
What is KDIGO staging?
Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes. www.kdigo.org. KDOQI 2002 definition and staging. Definition: Kidney damage for ≥3 months, as defined by structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without decreased GFR or GFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2 for ≥3 months, with or without kidney damage. Stage.
Can you live a long life with CKD?
Many people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are able to live long lives without being unduly affected by the condition.
