What Is Stage 3 Kidney Disease?
Stage 3 kidney disease, also known as Stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD), occurs when the kidneys have moderate damage and are not working as efficiently as they should. At this stage, kidney function is reduced, but timely treatment can help slow or even prevent further progression.
At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, patients receive comprehensive kidney care guided by a super specialist doctor, ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective management.
Stages Within Stage 3 Kidney Disease
Stage 3 kidney disease is divided into two sub-stages:
-
Stage 3A: Mild to moderate loss of kidney function
-
Stage 3B: Moderate to severe loss of kidney function
Identifying the correct sub-stage helps in creating a personalized treatment plan.

Many people may not notice symptoms early, but as kidney function declines, the following signs may appear:
-
Fatigue and weakness
-
Swelling in the feet, ankles, or hands
-

Early medical attention is crucial to manage these symptoms effectively.
