Definitely CKD: Estimated glomerular filtration rate (kidney function) 32 ml/min/1.73m2. Normal would be &gt; 60 ml. It is classified as stage 3b. Below 30 is the pre-dialysis stage (which would be stage 4). It is serious, and needs close follow up because diabetes and hypertension can make it worse if they are not kept under control.
