There will be some major turning points in a person's life, and these turning points will have a huge impact on life. And disease, too. Today, we want to talk openly and honestly with you about this topic - where is the major turning point in chronic kidney disease?

A major turning point in chronic kidney disease

Before talking about this topic, we need everyone to know a necessary common sense --- clearly know what your glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is!

Many small partners already know that according to the glomerular filtration rate, we divide chronic kidney disease into 5 stages. (If you don’t know your renal function stage, leave a message for your age, gender, and serum creatinine to help us calculate eGFR, glomerular filtration rate in ml/min/1.73m2, omitted below)

Chronic kidney disease stage 1 with a glomerular filtration rate greater than 90

Chronic kidney disease stage 2, glomerular filtration rate 60-89

Chronic kidney disease stage 3, glomerular filtration rate 30-59

Chronic kidney disease stage 4, glomerular filtration rate 15-29

Chronic kidney disease stage 5, glomerular filtration rate less than 15

Among them, the 3 stages of chronic kidney disease are divided into 3a and 3b, 3a is 45-59, and 3b is 44-30.

The major turning point of chronic kidney disease that we are going to talk about today is stage 3b, that is, the glomerular filtration rate is less than 45, which is an important watershed in kidney disease.

What does this turning point mean?

The reason why CKD stage 3b is called the turning point of kidney disease is that before and after stage 3b, no matter from the analysis of the prognosis of the disease, the complications, the speed of renal function decline, and other aspects, there are completely different trends.

What is the difference?

To show you visually with some diagrams:

The graph below is from a large-scale study that surveyed more than 1 million people and was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the world's top medical journal.

We can see that after CKD3b, the hospitalization rate, cardiovascular complications, and mortality of patients all increase sharply.

This phenomenon was also found in a large-scale study of the rate of decline in kidney function in Japanese.

Once renal function is in stage 3b, the rate of renal function deterioration increases rapidly.

This turning point, the inspiration for us

Although many kidney friends feel sorry for their own discovery of kidney disease, in fact, if you look at it from another angle, it is not a bad thing to discover kidney function at an early stage.

Early detection leaves more leeway for ourselves and the doctor. At this stage of treatment, the condition is more likely to be stabilized, and the effect is generally better.

After all, due to the "silence" of kidney disease, there are no uncomfortable symptoms in the early and middle stages. Therefore, it is a pity that many small partners have been in the middle and late stages of kidney function, and even reached the stage of uremic dialysis, only to find out that they have kidney disease. No matter in terms of treatment effect, economic burden, quality of life, and other aspects, there is a need to pay a higher price.

Chronic kidney disease is not a fatal disease. Even in the stage of uremia, kidney transplantation and dialysis are still available.

The sooner a problem is found, the sooner we face it, do not escape, and regulate the management, the better for ourselves!
