Chronic kidney disease has the following stages:

Chronic kidney disease Stage 1:

Kidney function is diminished only a little. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is 90 ml/min or above at this stage. Blood or urine analysis shows certain indicators of abnormalities or damage. There are no characteristic symptoms present at this stage and it is usually when a person goes for a test for hypertension or diabetes that they get to know they are at stage 1. Treatment involves medications to control their hypertension and diabetes, exercising regularly, cutting down on stress and avoiding smoking and alcohol. Dietary modifications and natural therapies help to slow down the progression of the disease and reverse it as well.Read more

Chronic kidney disease Stage 2:

GFR reduces and is in between 60 to 89. At this stage also there is no apparent symptom which can indicate that kidneys are damaged. Usually tests done for conditions like diabetes or hypertension often reveal that the patients are in the stage 2. Apart from the precautions of stage 1 the doctors may prescribe other medicines to enhance the health of the blood vessels for dialysis in future. Lifestyle and dietary changes and alternative therapies like acupuncture, herbal medications and yoga help to slower the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease.Read more

Chronic kidney disease Stage 3:

At this stage symptoms like fatigue due to anemia; edema in lower legs, hands, and face due to loss of kidneys’ ability to excrete fluid; foamy urine and increase or decrease in the frequency of urination; pain in the back and problem in sleeping appear. The glomerular filtration rate is 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73m2 at this stage. Diminished kidney functioning results in uremia due to waste product accumulation in the blood. Treatment includes medications to control diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels. Nutritional supplements are given to control anemia. Blood tests are done to determine levels of creatinine, hemoglobin, calcium and phosphorus after every 3 to 6 months. This reveals how well the kidneys are performing. Dietary changes bring about substantial improvement in the health of the patients and delay progression of the disease. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and other natural herbal therapies help to delay reaching the stage of dialysis.Read more

 Chronic kidney disease Stage 4:

Stage 4 of chronic kidney disease is characterized by severe decrease in glomerular filtration i.e. 15-30 ml/min. As a result many complications develop at this stage including anemia; edema in lower legs; hands and face and lungs; increase or decrease in the frequency of urination and change in color and appearance of the urine; pain in kidneys and problems in sleeping; vomiting or nausea; loss of appetite and metallic taste in the mouth due to uremia; bad breath smelling of urea; pain in bones and numbness in hand or feet. Preparation for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis or kidney transplantation begins.Read more .
