SHARING IS CARING!!! KIDNEY FAILURE STAGES ๐ฉบ๐ฉธ
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a gradual loss of kidney function over time. Your kidneys help filter waste, balance fluids, regulate blood pressure, and maintain electrolyte balance. When kidney function declines, waste products build up in the body and can lead to serious health complications.
CKD progresses in 5 stages based on GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate):
๐น Stage 1 (GFR 90+)
Kidney damage is present, but function is still normal or high. Often no symptoms. Early management focuses on controlling risk factors.
๐น Stage 2 (GFR 60โ89)
Mild reduction in kidney function. Most people remain asymptomatic, but kidney damage may already be occurring.
๐น Stage 3a & 3b (GFR 45โ59 / 30โ44)
Moderate kidney damage. Symptoms may begin to appear, including fatigue, swelling, changes in urination, poor appetite, and high blood pressure.
๐น Stage 4 (GFR 15โ29)
Severe kidney damage. Waste products accumulate significantly, causing worsening symptoms like nausea, fluid retention, weakness, and sleep disturbances.
๐น Stage 5 (GFR <15)
Kidney failure (End-Stage Renal Disease). Kidneys can no longer adequately support the body. Dialysis or kidney transplant may be required.
Risk factors for CKD include:
โ๏ธ Diabetes
โ๏ธ Hypertension
โ๏ธ Family history of kidney disease
โ๏ธ Obesity
โ๏ธ Smoking
โ๏ธ Long-term NSAID use
Protect your kidneys:
๐ง Stay hydrated
๐ฅ Eat a kidney-friendly diet
๐ฉบ Control blood sugar & blood pressure
๐ญ Avoid smoking
๐ Use medications responsibly
๐ Get regular kidney function checks
Early detection can slow progression and improve quality of life.
