5 Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) | Know Your Kidneys | AKF

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is divided into five stages, which are based on eGFR test results and how well your kidneys work to filter waste and extra fluid from your blood. As the stages progress, #KidneyDisease gets worse and your kidneys are less able to work properly. That's why it is important at each stage, to take steps to slow down damage to your kidneys.

I got sick back in 2018… I went to the hospital because I was vomiting & bleeding from my gums… doctors tell me my kidneys don’t work & I gotta go on emergency dialysis… for now I am not able to get a transplant. So I been on dialysis for 5yrs & still going. Hopefully one day. I’ll get my life somehow back to Norwalk.

I had around 2 years of headache where doctors ignored and sent me home every time I visited. But the new doctor looked at my blood pressure it was high. After a month, they say that I have shrinking kidneys and hypertension. Kidney doctor scolded me that I had been ignoring my headache in years, and it caused me that, but he seemed to doubt when I said the truth that doctors send me home every time I visit. After years, they say that I have chronic kidney disease at stage 3, and it lasted years. Now I get feeling pain in my back every day in weeks.

Do you think if a person has stage 5 kidney failure and they go to dialysis three times a week for the past 2 years, do you think they can reverse the kidney failure or that's it right there

Limiting salt intake, carbonated colored drinks, too much protein consumption & drinking lots of water will minimize kidney disease. Also kidney cleansing supplements is helpful.

Hmmm...I lost my husband last year to end stage . We learned there was only 4 stages not 5. When I specifically asked about a stage 5 we were told there was none. Is this new?
