Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) generally is progressive and produces a sequence of relatively identifiable stages. Stage I is characterized by the relative absence of clinical and laboratory abnormalities. Stage II is identified by the presence of mild to moderate azotemia. Stage III is characterized by moderate to marked azotemia and the development of clinical signs attributable to uremic toxins. Severe azotemia and renal injury are exhibited in Stage IV.

This Webcast describes the stages of CKD and methods for early diagnosis that can lead to improved outcomes.
