Description | GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) | Clinical Action Plan |
Stage 1 Kidney damage with normal or increased GFR | ≥90 | Diagnosis and treatment CVD risk reduction Slow progression |
Stage 2 Kidney damage with mild decreased GFR | 60-89 | Estimation of progression |
Stage 3a Moderate decreased GFR | 45-59 | Evaluation and treatment of complications |
Stage 3b Moderate decreased GFR | 30-44 | More aggressive treatment of complications |
Stage 4 Severe decreased GFR | 15-29 | Preparation for renal replacement therapy (dialysis, kidney transplant) |
Stage 5 Kidney failure | <15 (or dialysis) | Renal replacement therapy (if uremia present and patient desires treatment) |
