Stage 3 CKD is divided into stage 3a (eGFR 45–59) and stage 3b (30–44). A healthcare professional interprets these values alongside duration, urine findings, medical history and trends.
Questions worth asking
- What is the likely cause of my CKD?
- What has my eGFR trend been?
- What does my urine albumin result show?
- Do any medicines or doses need review?
- Would a kidney dietitian be useful for me?
Food at stage 3
There is no universal stage 3 menu. Sodium, protein, potassium and phosphorus needs depend on the individual. See our Stage 3 CKD diet guide.
