What does stage G2 CKD mean?
A person with stage 2 chronic kidney disease (CKD) has kidney damage with a mild decrease in their glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 60-89 ml/min. There are usually no symptoms to indicate the kidneys are damaged.
What does CKD status mean?
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time. To read more about kidney function, see How Your Kidneys Work. CKD is also known as chronic renal disease.
How is CKD graded?
Stage 1: Kidney damage with normal or increased GFR (>90 mL/min/1.73 m 2) Stage 2: Mild reduction in GFR (60-89 mL/min/1.73 m 2) Stage 3a: Moderate reduction in GFR (45-59 mL/min/1.73 m 2) Stage 3b: Moderate reduction in GFR (30-44 mL/min/1.73 m 2)
Can you stay at stage 2 CKD?
Stage 2 is considered an early stage of the disease, and it can last for years—even decades. If you are diagnosed early and act early, stage 2 CKD can typically be managed with medications and lifestyle changes. In doing so, this can also potentially prevent the disease from ever progressing to a later stage.
What is a bad kidney function number?
A GFR of 60 or higher is in the normal range. A GFR below 60 may mean kidney disease. A GFR of 15 or lower may mean kidney failure.
What foods should I avoid with stage 2 kidney disease?
Here are 17 foods that you should likely avoid on a renal diet.
- Dark-colored soda. In addition to the calories and sugar that sodas provide, they harbor additives that contain phosphorus, especially dark-colored sodas.
- Avocados.
- Canned foods.
- Whole wheat bread.
- Brown rice.
- Bananas.
- Dairy.
- Oranges and orange juice.
What is the GFR for stage 2 kidney disease?
Stage 2 CKD means you have mild kidney damage and an eGFR between 60 and 89. Most of the time, an eGFR between 60 and 89 means your kidneys are healthy and working well. But if you have Stage 2 kidney disease, this means you have other signs of kidney damage even though your eGFR is normal.
