The only indication of kidney damage may be in specific blood or urine tests. Chronic kidney disease’s effect on life expectancy depends on the amount of damage to the kidneys. However, it decreases life expectancy at every age and stage. Preventing further damage to the kidneys and other conditions (such as heart disease) is critical to having the best life expectancy. The later stages of CKD occur when damage to the kidneys becomes more apparent. Symptoms often appear in these stages.Is Kidney Disease Terminal?Chronic kidney disease can progress to end-stage renal disease, which is terminal without ongoing dialysis or a kidney transplant. However, progression is not inevitable. With proper treatment and healthy lifestyle changes, it is possible to live a long life with CKD.Chronic kidney disease cannot be cured. Damage to the kidneys is permanent, so it is important to prevent further damage. Stage 3 Kidney Disease Stage 3 kidney disease is separated into two sub-stages: stage 3a and stage 3b. These substages are based on an eGFR blood test, which measures how well the kidneys filter waste. An eGFR between 45 and 59 indicates stage 3a. Kidney damage in this stage is mild to moderate. Symptoms include: Swelling in the hands and feetWeaknessFeeling tired An eGFR between 30 and 44 indicates stage 3b. Kidney damage is moderate to severe, and symptoms may progress.
