CKD is divided into five stages, and patient’s condition will become severer and severer as their disease progresses into the futher stage of CKD. Well then, if CKD patient has 40% remaining kidney function, what stage is patient in?
CKD is a progressive disease, which can damage patient’s kidney function gradually in this process. When patient’s kidney function is damaged severely enough, many health problems will appear, becuase kidney is the organ that can regulate our body’s internal metabolic balances. For patients with 40% kidney function, their kidney damage is severe enough, which can cause patients to have many complications.

As a result, patients with stage 3 CKD begin to have abnormal symptoms and signs caused by their damaged kidney function, and patients with 40% kidney function will have symptms due to their kidney damage.
