What does GFR 60 mean for PKD patients? GFR refers to the glomerular filtration rate, which means how much blood can be filtered by glomeruli in every one minute. In the following article, we will talk about the meaning of GFR 60 in PKD patients.

What does GFR 60 mean for PKD patients?

As we know, PKD is a genetic kidney disease with numerous fluid filled sacs formed on kidneys, and the cysts will be increased and get enlarged over time, which will oppress surrounding kidney tissues and cause kidney damage. With the reduction of kidney function, patients will get decline of GFR level.

Depending on the GFR level, kidney disease can be divided into 5 stages, and the GFR 60 means patients are in stage 3 kidney disease. Patients will quickly get into stage 3 CKD (GFR 30-59 ml/min). In this condition, it means their kidneys have been damaged by the kidney cysts in PKD, and patients may have the symptoms such as bubbles in urine, blood in urine, swelling, high blood pressure, weakness, back pain, fatigue, anemia, back pain, etc. And patients need to take early treatment to slow down their progression, which can make a good prognosis for them.

Then how to improve the GFR level for PKD patients?

Since the low GFR is mainly caused by enlargement of kidney cysts and kidney damage, so patients need to take treatment to shrink the kidney cysts and repair their kidney damage.

Here we recommend the Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which has the function of removing the fluid from cyst and prevent the secretion of fluid from cyst wall, then it can help shrink the kidney cysts and stop the growth of cysts. In addition, it can also help repair damaged kidney tissues and improve kidney function. Once the kidney function is improved, the GFR level can also be increased. (still have any questions?
