Introduction
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 2 represents early kidney damage with mildly reduced kidney function. Many patients remain symptom-free at this stage, making early diagnosis and proactive care essential to prevent disease progression. At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, patients receive personalized treatment under the care of a super specialist nephrologist.
What Is CKD Stage 2?
CKD stage 2 is defined by a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 60 and 89 ml/min, along with evidence of kidney damage such as protein in urine or abnormal imaging. Although kidney function appears near normal, damage is present and requires medical attention.
Common Causes of CKD Stage 2
-
Diabetes
-
High blood pressure
-
Chronic kidney infections
-
Glomerulonephritis
-
Polycystic kidney disease

Identifying and treating the underlying cause is crucial.
