Some people with Stage 3 CKD do not have any symptoms. But for many people with CKD, Stage 3 is when their kidney disease begins to affect their health, and they start to notice symptoms. Symptoms of Stage 3 CKD may include: Feeling weak and tired.
The more impactful symptoms of kidney disease stage 3 are the health implications of your decreased kidney functioning such as high blood pressure, anemia, and bone disease.
Q: What is the life expectancy of someone with stage 3 kidney disease? A: On average, the life expectancy of a male patient, who is 40, at CKD stage 3, is 24 years, whereas for a female patient of the same age group, is 28 years.
Conclusions: About half of the patients with stage 3 CKD progressed to stage 4 or 5, as assessed by eGFR, over 10 years.
For a 60-year-old man, stage 1 kidney disease life expectancy will be approximately 15 years. That figure falls to 13 years, 8 years, and 6 years in the second, third, and fourth stages of kidney disease respectively. For a 60-year old woman, stage 1 life expectancy is 18 years, while stage 2 is only one year less.
How serious is Stage 3 CKD? You might think of Stage 3 CKD as a "middle stage" of kidney disease. Your kidneys are damaged, but they still work well enough that you do not need dialysis or a kidney transplant. Kidney disease often cannot be cured in Stage 3, and damage to your kidneys normally is not reversible.
Limit intake of foods with high levels of phosphate or phosphate additives such as organ meats, whole grain breads, processed foods, cola beverages, cheese, dried beans, liver, peanut butter, dairy products and chocolate.

The good news is that the majority of Stage 3 patients do not progress to the more severe stages.” While there is no way to reverse chronic kidney disease at stage 3, you can prevent disease progression by working with your nephrologist (kidney specialist) and the rest of your care team to properly manage the disease.
With prevalence studies currently estimating that around 5% of the adult population will have evidence of stage-3 or 'moderate' chronic kidney disease (CKD),1–7 the last 5 years has seen CKD become a major healthcare challenge.
Diabetes is the most common cause of kidney disease. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. But also heart disease and obesity can contribute to the damage that causes kidneys to fail. Urinary tract issues and inflammation in different parts of the kidney can also lead to long-term functional decline.

Avoid foods that have more than 300mg sodium per serving (or 600mg for a complete frozen dinner). Avoid foods that have salt in the first four or five items in the ingredient list. Don't eat ham, bacon, sausage, hot dogs, lunch meats, chicken tenders or nuggets, or regular canned soup.
Kidney disease progresses at different rates for different people, and it can take between two and five years to pass between different stages.
Nevertheless, a U-shaped relationship between BP, cardiovascular events, and renal function was present. In patients with CKD stage III and IV, a BP less than 140/90 mm Hg appeared to be a reasonable target.
Stage 3 CKD means that your estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is between 30 and 59 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared. If you are in early Stage 3 CKD, we can see some temporary improvement, however if you are in late Stage 3, it is uncommon to return to Stage 2 CKD.
