There are 5 stages of kidney disease. They are defined on the basis of the filtration rate called GFR.
When GFR is 90 or above then we suspect that there is slight damage to kidney but it is functioning fine
When GFR is 60-89 then we suspect that there is damage to kidney and is not working perfectly
When GFR is 45-59 then we suspect that there is damage to kidney and is only working at 50%. It is also called stage 3A of kidney disease.
When GFR is 30-45 then we suspect that kidney is only working at 40%. It is also called stage 3B of kidney disease.
When GFR is 15-29 then we suspect that kidney is only working at 25%. It is also called stage 4 of kidney disease.
When GFR is less than 15 then we suspect that patient is in kidney failure. It is also called stage 5 of kidney disease.
Peritoneal dialysis is a type of renal replacement therapy used to treat kidney failure by removing waste products and excess fluid from the body. Unlike hemodialysis, which involves filtering blood outside the body using a machine, peritoneal dialysis utilizes the peritoneum, a membrane lining the abdominal cavity, as a natural filter.
A soft tube, called a catheter, is placed in your belly. This is done by minor surgery. This catheter makes it possible r you to easily connect to a special tubing which allows two to three quarts of a cleansing fluid to flow into your belly. The cleansing fluid is called dialysate. It takes about 10 minutes for the dialysate to fill your belly.
The lining of your belly (called the peritoneum) acts as a natural filter. It lets the wastes and extra fluid in your blood pass through it into the cleansing fluid. At the same time, the lining of your belly holds back the important things your body needs, like red blood cells and nutrients.
