How Do GFR Values Classify Your Kidney Disease Stage? - Chronic Kidney Support
How Do GFR Values Classify Your Kidney Disease Stage? Have you ever wondered how healthcare professionals determine the level of kidney function and what it means for your health? In this informative video, we'll explain how GFR values are used to classify the stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We'll start by defining what GFR, or Glomerular Filtration Rate, is and how it reflects your kidneys' ability to filter blood. You'll learn how GFR numbers are interpreted to assess the severity of kidney damage and how they help in diagnosing CKD. We’ll also discuss the different stages from one to five, what symptoms may appear at each stage, and the importance of monitoring other markers like protein in urine. Understanding your GFR stage can guide your treatment options, from lifestyle changes to more advanced interventions such as dialysis or transplantation. Whether you're concerned about kidney health or managing a diagnosis, knowing how GFR values influence your care is essential.
