Dr. Yuan Xiaoying
Stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) indicates significant loss of kidney function, representing an irreversible and incurable condition. As the disease progresses, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) continues to decline, ultimately leading to uremia. Management focuses on symptomatic treatment, with consideration of dialysis therapy—either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis—to remove accumulated toxins from the body.
