The severity of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can be measured with Glomerular Filtration Rate, which is a test to determine how functional your kidneys are.
CKD Definition:
Having kidney damage ≥3 months, as defined by structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without a decrease in GFR, manifest by either pathologic abnormalities or markers of kidney damage, including abnormalities in the composition of the blood or urine, or abnormalities in imaging tests, or having <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for ≥3 months with or without underlying kidney damage (e.g., hepatorenal or cardiorenal syndrome)
Overall lifetime risks for CKD stages 3a, 3b, and 4 and ESKD in the United States have been reported to be 59.1%, 33.6%, 11.5%, and 3.6%, respectively.
