In yesterday’s blog, we explored Chronic Kidney Disease. Today we’re going to look at the lab measurement, eGFR that tracks how well kidneys are performing as they continue to fail with eGFR decreasing from 30 to 5.
Summary
This podcast explains how a patient’s estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function, changes as chronic kidney disease progresses. It describes the different stages of kidney disease, with eGFR values ranging from 30 to 5, outlining the symptoms and treatment options for each stage. The podcast emphasizes the importance of understanding the disease, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and working closely with a healthcare team to manage symptoms and potentially prepare for dialysis or a kidney transplant.
