In clinic, glomerular filtration rate always is used as the index of
reflecting renal function. for people with Chronic Kidney Disease, decreased
glomerular filtration rate indicates that their kidneys have been damaged and if
your glomerular filtration rate is lower than 60mL/min/1.73 m2, it tells that
your disease has developed into stage 3.
People suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 usually have glomerular
filtration rate in the range from 30mL/min/1.73 m2 to 59mL/min/1.73 m2.
Generally speaking, blood flow in our body can get through glomerular filtration
membrane and thus filter out the metabolic waste. Decreased glomerular
filtration rate indicates that blood flow can not get through the filtration
membrane, leading to the accumulation of waste products in the blood. Our
kidneys have great reserve capacity, so at the very beginning, there are no
symptoms at all and usually when Chronic Kidney Disease develops into stage 3,
that is to say, when glomerular filtration rate is lower than 60 9mL/min/1.73
m2, then a series of symptoms will appear.
Our glomerular filtration membrane is composed of different functional cells
and each of them has different functions. Thereby, due to the pathological
change, people with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 may have different symptoms.
The possible symptoms appearing in stage 3 include foamy urine, frequent
urination at night, vomit, nausea, swelling, changed urine color, lower appetite
and itchy skin. In addition, people with Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD clinic), which is one
of the common Chronic Kidney Disease, will have lower back pain.
People suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 should receive treatment
as soon as possible; otherwise, aggravated disease will make them miss the
optimal time for treatment. Similar with other disease, the earlier people
suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease receive treatment, the better the
treatment effects are. Thereby, to avoid the bad consequence of dialysis and
kidney transplant, it is very necessary for people to get their disease
controlled. for more information, you can email to me or consult our consultant
