What are the symptoms of chronic kidney disease stage 3? In stage 3, the
GFR(glomerular filtration rate), a very important reference to present the
damage degree in kidney, falls to as low as 30 to 59 ml/min, the normal range of
which is 80 to 120 ml/min. Creatinine and urea acid can also be high, which lead
to the following symptoms:
1. high blood pressure
Once kidney is damaged, it can not discharge out the sodium and water, which
leads to the retention of water and sodium, thus increasing the blood content
and leading to high blood pressure.
2. anemia
On one hand, the generation of red blood cells decreases. Because kidney
function is damaged, the EPO in kidney disease will produce less, thus leading
to anemia. On the other hand, in stage 3 Chronic kidney disease, a lot of toxic
materials accumulates, which leads to the damage to the red blood cells and the
inhibition of hematopoietic function is also damaged. Shortened lifespan of red
blood cells leads to anemia.
3. feeling tired
Feeling tired or fatigue is common which is usually caused by long time
anemia for stage 3 chronic kidney disease patients for there are so many toxins
in the body which should have been discharged out of the body.
4. edema or dropsy or swelling
Filtering blood is one important function of kidney. After filtered and the
reabsorption in renal tubules, excessive water in the body will be discharged
out of the body, thus causing retention of water, which can be called edema or
dropsy or swelling in clinic.
