Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Stages, eGFR Decline, Potassium, and Renal Nutrition
Chronic Kidney Disease describes progressive irreversible kidney damage over a period of more than 3 months. There are 5 stages of CKD according to the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and the levels of albuminuria. This section will cover KDIGO staging heatmaps, metabolic complications e.g. hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia & renal anaemia and renal specific medical nutrition therapy.
