What is the Life Expectancy for Patients with Stage 3 Kidney Disease

According to the level of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can be divided into five stages. Stage 5 CKD is the End Stage Renal Disease, the most severe stage of kidney disease. However, stage 3 CKD is a vital stage, if patient can get timely and properly treatment in this stage, they may get a chance to avoid dialysis and transplant. Now here we will talk about stage 3 CKD and the life expectancy for this group of patients.

A person with stage 3 CKD has kidney damage with a moderate decrease in the GFR of 30-59ml/min. In stage 3 CKD a person is more likely to develop complications of kidney disease such as anemia, high blood pressure or bone disease and so on.
Why stage 3 is a vital stage of kidney diseaes ?
We call stage 3 CKD a demarcation point. Then why do we say that? Stage 1 CKD and stage 2 CKD are such two stages that the conditions are not severe, and the illness conditions can be reversed in general. However, stage 4 CKD and stage 5 CKD mean much kidney function have been lost, it is nearly impossible to reverse the conditions. While for patients with stage 3 CKD, it is very necessary for them to receive the efficient treatments to control the development of the condition, otherwise the condition develops CKD 4. Stage 3 CKD has the certain possibility to be reversed.
What is the Life expectancy for patient with stage 3 kidney disease ?
As to the life expectancy for stage 3 CKD patients, it is hard to say. Different people have different conditions and results. Many factors can influence the life expectancy, such as the treatment you are taking, your living habit, the surrounding environment, your mood and so on. Even for dialysis patients, some can liver for more than 5 years, while some can not.
If stage 3 CKD patients can take the efficient treatments in time, the kidney function is likely to be enhanced, then they can live a normal life as others do. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is commonly used to save patients’ own kidneys. It is based on Chinese herbal medicines, but used externally.
