    2) CKD2 (mild) – GFR of 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m 2 with evidence of kidney damage 3) CKD3 (moderate) – GFR of 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m 2 4) CKD4 (severe) – GFR of 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m 2 5) CKD5 kidney failureGFR less than 15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 Some people add CKD5D for those stage 5 patients requiring dialysis; many patients in CKD5 are ...

  3. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

    The severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is described by six stages; the most severe three are defined by the MDRD-eGFR value, and first three also depend on whether there is other evidence of kidney disease (e.g., proteinuria): 0) Normal kidney function – GFR above 90 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) and no proteinuria

  4. Blood urea nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_urea_nitrogen

    BUN is an indication of kidney health. The normal range is 2.1–7.1 mmol/L or 6–20 mg/dL. [1]The main causes of an increase in BUN are: high-protein diet, decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (suggestive of kidney failure), decrease in blood volume (hypovolemia), congestive heart failure, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, [5] fever, rapid cell destruction from infections, athletic ...

  5. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapidly_progressive_glomer...

    Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is a syndrome of the kidney that is characterized by a rapid loss of kidney function, [4] [5] (usually a 50% decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within 3 months) [5] with glomerular crescent formation seen in at least 50% [5] or 75% [4] of glomeruli seen on kidney biopsies.

  6. Kidney failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_failure

    Kidney failure, also known as renal failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is a medical condition in which the kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste products from the blood, functioning at less than 15% of normal levels. [2]

  7. Nephritic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephritic_syndrome

    Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis - This is a syndrome of the kidney that is characterized by rapid loss of kidney function (usually >50% decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within 3 months) [23] with glomerular crescent formation frequently seen on kidney biopsy.

  8. Chronic kidney disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease

    A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 is considered normal without chronic kidney disease if there is no kidney damage present. Kidney damage is defined signs of damage seen in blood, urine, or imaging studies which includes lab albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥ 30. [ 59 ]

  9. Urea-to-creatinine ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea-to-creatinine_ratio

    BUN is disproportionately elevated relative to creatinine in serum. This may be indicative of hypoperfusion of the kidneys due to heart failure or dehydration. [4] Gastrointestinal bleeding or increased dietary protein can also increase the ratio. [4] 12–20:1 40–110:1 Normal or Postrenal (after the kidney) Normal range. Can also be ...
