Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is progressive loss of renal function across 5 stages: Stage 1 (eGFR >90), Stage 2 (eGFR 60-89), Stage 3 (eGFR 30-59), Stage 4 (eGFR 15-29), and Stage 5 (eGFR <15). Early diagnosis allows medical therapy to halt progression.
Key Clinical Takeaways:
- Diabetes and Hypertension cause over 70% of all CKD cases in India.
- CKD is silent in Stages 1 to 3; routine testing of Serum Creatinine and Urine Albumin is crucial.
- Modern SGLT2 inhibitors and ACEi/ARBs slow renal decline by up to 40%.
