CKD is classified into five stages, based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), with stage 1 being the mildest and stage 5 being kidney failure. Understanding the stages of CKD can help patients manage their condition more effectively. Early-stage CKD often has no symptoms, so regular check-ups are essential for early detection and intervention. Managing blood pressure, diabetes, and adopting a kidney-friendly diet can slow the progression of CKD. Regular consultations with a healthcare team, including a nephrologist and dietitian, are critical as CKD advances.
