One of chronic kidney disease patients leave a message in facebook that he has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and the eGFR is around 30 and creatine is 1.7. He wants to know how serious the condition is and what measures he can take.
There is no doubt that both eGFR( which equals GFR) and serum creatinine are references for the judgment of the kidney function. In contrast, GFR is more accurate and scientific, which is accepted by labs in most countries. On the basis of GFR, chronic kidney disease can be divided into five stages.
In stage 1, the GFR is more than 90 mL/min/1.73m2.
In stage 2, the GFR is between 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73m2.
In stage 3, the GFR is between 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73m2.
In stage 4, the GFR is between 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73m2.
In stage 5, the GFR is less than 15. In this stage, most patients are under dialysis.
From the above, we can get a conclusion that eGFR is around 30 means that this patient is in stage 3. Stage 3 is a critical stage, in which patients can reverse. However, if the treatment is not timely or effective, this patient will develop into stage 4, which makes it more difficulty for them to recover.
In most countries, patients receive western medicine. If the disease is caused by immune disorder, they will take immunosuppressive agents. After treating, they will find out that the effect is not so satisfactory. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we have researched out the combination of western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, which is a brand new immune therapy so far. Generally, it can be divided into 6 steps, which go as follows:scientific diagnosis, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment, immune protection and immune clearance.
