ME🩺 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) – Know the Stages Before It’s Too Late!
Chronic Kidney Disease is a progressive loss of kidney function over time. The severity is measured using Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). Early stages often show no symptoms, which is why regular screening is important.
📊 CKD Stages Based on GFR:
• Stage 1: GFR ≥90 (Kidney damage with normal function)
• Stage 2: GFR 60–89 (Mild decrease)
• Stage 3: GFR 30–59 (Moderate decline)
• Stage 4: GFR 15–29 (Severe damage)
• Stage 5: GFR <15 → End-Stage Renal Disease (Dialysis/Transplant required)
⚠️ Common complications:
Hypertension • Anemia • Fluid retention • Hyperkalemia • Metabolic acidosis • Bone disease
💡 Prevention Tips:
✔ Control diabetes & blood pressure
✔ Maintain healthy diet
✔ Avoid excessive NSAIDs
✔ Regular kidney function tests
