Introduction
A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 65 refers to a GFR of 65 ml/min. How long it takes for a GFR of 65 ml/min to progress to uremia depends on the individual patient's specific circumstances. If a person has kidney disease, as long as proper adjustments are made in lifestyle and diet, the condition can be well controlled, and may never progress to uremia throughout life.
A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 65 refers to a GFR of 65 ml/min. How long it takes for a GFR of 65 ml/min to progress to uremia depends on the individual patient's specific circumstances.
Glomerular filtration rate is a functional indicator and does not exist in the blood, so it cannot be directly measured. Under normal conditions, the GFR ranges between 100–120 ml/min. GFR naturally declines with age, which is considered a normal physiological degeneration. If a person has kidney disease, as long as they maintain proper adjustments in lifestyle and diet, the condition can often be well-controlled, and may never progress to uremia throughout their lifetime.
In cases of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, due to its more severe pathological type, dialysis treatment for uremia may be required within several months.
Patients are advised to follow a low-salt, low-fat diet, engage in moderate aerobic exercise, and drink plenty of water. Additionally, excessive protein intake should be avoided to prevent increasing the burden on the kidneys and reduce the risk of developing chronic kidney disease.
