Question:

Medical question what is the 3rd stage of kidney disease?


Answers:

Increased proteinuria, increased microalbuminuria and decreasing GFR.

As these things get worse, one will enter overt kidney failure (stage 4). Before this, would have been the clinically silent stage (stage 2). Originally the patient should have had increased GFR (Stage 1), and hypertrophied kidneys and I think *basement membrane thickening* will be apparent in Stage 3 too.

Hope this helps
