Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 to Stage 5 varies from person to person, ranging from a year or two to decades.
Chronic kidney disease is defined as the presence of signs of kidney damage lasting more than 3 months, or a glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 ml/(min-1.73m²) lasting more than 3 months. Signs of kidney damage include abnormal renal pathology, abnormal renal imaging, abnormal urinalysis, and abnormal blood tests related to kidney disease.
The time from stage 3 to stage 5 of chronic kidney disease cannot be determined. If the patient is not actively treated and the disease is severe, it may develop into stage 5 in one or two years; if the patient is actively treated and the disease is mild, it will develop into stage 5 only in decades.
Patients with chronic kidney disease should go to the hospital in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of professional physicians to avoid delay.
