<\/span><\/div>What is Stage 1 Kidney Disease?<\/h2><\/div>Stage 1 chronic kidney disease represents the earliest stage of kidney damage as categorized by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines.<\/p>\n
In Stage 1 CKD, there is evidence of kidney damage, but kidney function remains relatively preserved. Specifically, Stage 1 CKD is characterized by a normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) greater than 90 milliliters per minute per 1.73 square meters, along with other indicators of kidney damage.<\/p>\n
Despite kidney damage, individuals with Stage 1 CKD typically do not exhibit noticeable symptoms, and their kidneys may still effectively filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood.<\/p>\n
In many cases, Stage 1 CKD is detected through routine laboratory tests, such as blood and urine tests, rather than presenting with overt symptoms.<\/p>\n
Management of Stage 1 CKD focuses on identifying and addressing underlying causes of kidney damage and implementing lifestyle modifications to slow the progression of kidney disease and minimize complications. This may include maintaining a healthy diet, managing blood pressure and blood sugar levels, avoiding tobacco use, and staying physically active.<\/p>\n
Regular monitoring of kidney function through routine check-ups and laboratory tests is essential for individuals with Stage 1 CKD to track disease progression and adjust treatment as needed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>Stage 1 CKD Symptoms<\/h2><\/div>Many individuals with stage 1 chronic kidney disease do not experience any symptoms.<\/p>\n
If symptoms are present, they are typically mild and can include:<\/p>\n
\n- Fatigue<\/li>\n
- Changes in urination frequency or pattern<\/li>\n
- Mild swelling in the hands or feet<\/li>\n
- Blood in the urine (hematuria)<\/li>\n
- Elevated blood pressure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
