Stage 3 Kidney Disease is a key period to treat kidney disease. At this stage to cure the chance of more. If continue to develop,you will pay more money and time to cure this disease.And it will be difficult to cure it totaly. Now let we know some symptoms in stage 3 kidney disease.And early found early treatment.

Kidney disease is a progressive condition that occurs when damage to the kidneys inhibits their function. The kidneys, responsible for filtering waste from the body, do not stop working all at once but slowly lose function over time. There are five stages of kidney disease, based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a measure of kidney function determined by age, race, gender and serum creatinine level. Stage 3, a moderate loss of kidney function, occurs when the GFR is 30 to 59 mililiters per minute, according to DaVita, a dialysis services provider. While some patients will not yet exhibit outward symptoms of disease others will.

Anemia and Fatigue

As kidney function begins to decline, waste products, known as uremic toxins, build up in the blood. In addition, the kidney is responsible for secreting various hormones. One hormone, called erythropoietin (EPO), is necessary to help the bone marrow make new red blood cells. When the kidneys are not able to function properly, they do not release enough EPO, resulting in fewer red blood cells.

A low red blood cell count is a condition called anemia. DaVita reports that anemia often develops during stage 3 kidney disease. Because the red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, a decrease in red blood cells reduces the amount of oxygen. With less circulating oxygen, the cells in the body must work harder, which causes fatigue.

Fluid Retention

The kidneys also are responsible for removing excess fluids from the body. As kidney function decreases, excess fluids stay in the body and can settle in the lower legs and hands or around the eyes. This condition is known as edema. If left untreated, edema can cause painful swelling, difficulty walking, increased risk of infection, decreased blood circulation and an increased risk of developing ulcers, according to the doctors at the Mayo Clinic.

Treatment

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is external therapy with Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is able to remedy CKD from root causes by protecting and regenerating the structures and functions of intrinsic renal cells fundamentally. Its significant efficacy brings new hope for patients with Kidney Disease, which draws increasing attention worldwide.
