Kidney disease is a progressive condition that occurs when damage to the
kidneys inhibits their function. The kidneys, responsible for filtering waste
from the body, do not stop working all at once but slowly lose function over
time. There are five stages of kidney disease, based on the glomerular
filtration rate (GFR), a measure of kidney function determined by age, race,
gender and serum creatinine level. Stage 3, a moderate loss of kidney function,
occurs when the GFR is 30 to 59 mililiters per minute.
The symptoms of stage 3 Kidney disease are as follow:
1. Serum creatinine. Serum creatinine will be higher.
2. Tiredness or fatigue
3. Puffiness or swelling in the hands or feet and ankles, but the puffiness
will often first be seen around the eyes.
4. Back pain. Usually felt as a dull ache anywhere in the mid-to-lower
portion of the back, on one side or the other - this is sometimes referred to as
flank pain, or loin pain.
5. Appetite. Changes in appetite or eating pattern. Foods may start tasting
"funny".
6. Urine. Changes in urination. Urine may in fact look exceptionally clear at
this point, rather than abnormal. This is because little is actually being
filtered into it by your kidneys. Previously high proteinuria and/or hematuria
may actually improve.
7. Blood pressure. High blood pressure (also referred to as hypertension)
8. Digestion. Poor digestion ability.
The latest treatment for kidney disease patients in 3 stage is Immunotherapy,
