Stage 3

Stage 3 Kidney Disease

Your eGFR at Stage 3 will be between 30 and 59, indicating some damage to your kidneys. A stage 3 eGFR reading shows that your kidneys are not working at a sustainable rate of effectiveness.

Stage 3 CKD can be further split into two stages: 3a and 3b.

Stage 3a is specifically divided into an eGFR of between 45 and 59, while 3b indicates an eGFR of between 30 and 44. Other health complications that often develop at this stage include high blood pressure and anemia.

At this stage of kidney disease, you will need to consult with a nephrologist and a renal dietician to ensure you’re making the appropriate changes needed to slow the progression of CKD.
