             CKD Treatment

Treatment for Stage 1 CKD is kidney disease with normal kidney function. In Treatment for Stage 2 CKD function is 60-90%. Most patients with stages 1 and 2 CKD just need occasional testing to be sure things are no different, but a few patients need further investigation because there are pointers to a disease that could benefit from treatment or lead to serious further trouble.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) slowly gets worse over months or years. you may not notice any symptoms for some time. The loss of function may be so slow that you do not have symptoms until your kidneys have almost stopped working.

As some of you may know, I have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Thanks to my wife and the scare put into me by my nephrologist, that I would soon have to begin dialysis, I have managed to get my CKD in remission, or at least under control. My GFR number (that indicates when you must start dialysis) has held steady, or actually gotten better since my wife put me on a strict diet and I have lost about 15 pounds – and my nephrologist took me off of lisinopril (for blood pressure control), In Stage 1 CKD kidney function is normal but there is other evidence of kidney disease. Treatment for Stage 2 CKD is mildly reduced kidney function, GFR 60-89mls/min/1.73m2 Both stages require other evidence of kidney disease.
which seemed to raise my GFR by about three points. So, it appears I won’t have to go on dialysis any time soon.


The final stage of chronic kidney disease is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). At this stage, the kidneys are no longer able to remove enough wastes and excess fluids from the body. At this point, you would need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
