A member asked:
If only 35% of your kidney is working does that mean renal failure yet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, chronic kdny dis: 35% means a stage 3 CKD = chronic kidney disease. Under 30% is stage 4 where we only prepare patient for dialysis but not do dialysis. Under 10-15% is what we call failure and start dialysis.
