Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
A person with stage 2 chronic kidney disease (CKD) has kidney damage with a mild decrease in their glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 60-89 ml/min. There are usually no symptoms to indicate the kidneys are damaged as kidneys do a good job even when they’re not functioning at 100 percent.
In many people, treatment at early stages of CKD can prevent or slow down progression through to eventual kidney failure.
The main aims of treatment for mild-to-moderate CKD include:
1. Treat any underlying kidney condition, whenever possible.
2. Prevent or slow down the progression of CKD.
3. Reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Regular testing for protein in the urine and serum creatinine can show whether the kidney damage is progressing.
Living a healthy lifestyle can help slow progression of kidney disease.
It is recommended that people in stage 2 CKD:
1. Eat healthy diet.
2. Keep blood pressure and blood glucose under strict control.
3. Take medications as prescribed by their doctor.
4. Exercise regularly.
5. Stop smoking.
They need to have regular checkups with their doctor and include a serum creatinine test to measure GFR.
Since anaemia is one of the features associated with CKD, it needs to be corrected by means of iron supplementation and consuming iron rich foods. Kindly consult Nephrologist for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
