What is third stage kidney disease?

Third stage kidney disease, also known as stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD), indicates a moderate reduction in kidney function, with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 30 and 59 mL/min. At this stage, patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, fluid retention, and changes in urination. While kidney function is still significant, it is crucial to manage underlying conditions, such as Diabetes and hypertension, to slow disease progression and prevent complications. Regular monitoring and lifestyle modifications are recommended for individuals in this stage.
