This video is explains What is Stage 4 Kidney Disease and What Plan To Support Kidney Health in Stage 4 Kidney Disease. This is a trending topic right now in the kidney disease community.
There are 5 total stages of chronic kidney disease. These stages refer to how properly your kidneys are working. Kidney function deteriorates as kidney disease stages progress. In the early stages like stage 1 to stage 3, your kidneys are still able to filter waste out of your blood. In the later stages like stage 5, to stage 5, the kidney has to work substantially harder to filter out waste out your blood. At any stage of chronic kidney disease, the goal is to do whatever is possible to slow down kidney damage and keep them functioning as long as possible.
To find out what stage of kidney disease one is in, a doctor can perform a series of tests. These include eGFR tests and urine tests. A eGFR test is considered a pretty accurate test for doctors to know how well your kidneys are working. However, the eGFR may not be accurate if you are younger than 18, pregnant, obese, or very muscular.
As far as Stage 4 Kidney disease, Stage 4 CKD means you have an eGFR between 15 and 29. This means your kidneys are moderately or severely damaged and are not properly. Stage 4 kidney disease should be taken extremely seriously because it is the last stage before kidney failure.
Symptoms of stage 4 kidney disease include swelling in your hands and feet, back pain, and urinating more or less than normal, amongst other symptoms from previous stages of chronic kidney disease. At this stage, it is vital to practice good kidney health like keeping the proper diet, taking the right supplements, and keeping close contact with a nephrologist.
