Introduction
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 3 is a moderate stage of kidney damage where kidney function is reduced but still manageable with proper care. Many patients worry about chronic kidney disease stage 3 life expectancy and how the condition may affect their future. At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, a super specialist nephrologist provides expert guidance to help patients maintain a healthy and active life.
What Is CKD Stage 3?
CKD Stage 3 is defined by a moderate reduction in kidney function, typically with an eGFR between 30–59 ml/min. It is often divided into:
Stage 3A: eGFR 45–59
Stage 3B: eGFR 30–44
At this stage, waste products may start to build up in the body.
