How Serious Is Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3

Is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage 3 serious? How serious is it? Chronic Kidney Disease is a progressive disease with 5 stages and stage is marked by GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) 30-59mL/min/1.732. CKD causes no obvious symptoms, and most of the time, symptoms begin to appear when illness condition develops to stage 3. This is the reason why many patients are diagnosed with stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease when they realize they have kidney problem.

Whether Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 is serious or not actually depends on patient’s management and treatment method. For some people with CKD in stage 3, with right treatment method and diet plan, illness condition can be controlled well and there is great chance for them to avoid CKD stage 5 which also can be called end stage kidney failure. However, in most of the cases, patients only take some medicines to deal with their symptoms. This can not treat CKD from the root, so many patients with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 finally suffer from End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 is not serious and can be brought under control effectively with following measures:

1. Right treatment method: Study found that 95% of Chronic Kidney Disease occurs because of inflammation which appears easily when our immune system is abnormal and immunity is poor. Most of the time, patients are prescribed with immunosuppressive agents to block inflammation, which can help to avoid further kidney damages to some extent, but when patients stop taking medicines or reduce medicine dose, inflammation occurs again and Chronic Kidney Disease relapses. Actually, inflammation occurs because immune complexes, the combination of antigen and antibody, deposit in kidney, so if we want to remove inflammation fundamentally, we must remove immune complexes in kidney. In clinic, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can be applied to achieve this purpose.

2. Scientific diet: For patients with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3, improper diet increase kidney burden and worsen illness condition, so having a scientific diet is very helpful for controlling CKD stage 3. Generally speaking, low-protein diet, low-salt diet, low-potassium and low-phosphorus diet is necessary.

3. Avoid cold and infection: Cold and infection are the leading two aggravating factors of Chronic Kidney Disease and may cause acute kidney failure. Having an effective prevent for cold and infection helps to avoid kidney failure.

Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 is a special stage for Chronic Kidney Disease patients, because if they can stop illness progression in this stage effectively, kidney failure will be avoided. However, if they just leave their disease alone, they will finally experience kidney failure. Therefore, whether Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 is serious or not depends on their management very much.
