Life Expectancy of Stage 3 Chronic Renal Failure

In stage 3 of Chronic Renal Failure, GFR declines below 59 ml/min and the kidneys are damaged moderately. If the patients can receive proper treatment and control the complications of Chronic Renal Failure as well as keep a healthy diet, they will be able to improve and even recover their normal renal function. If so, the patients with stage 3 Chronic Renal Failure will have the same life expectancy as the healthy people.
In stage 3 of Chronic Renal Failure, the doctors usually only prescribe some medicines to relieve symptoms high blood pressure, anemia, high blood sugar etc. These measures have certain effect in delaying the progression of the disease. However, the immune complexes which cause renal injury still exist in the kidneys so they will cause continuing damage to kidneys. Also the inflammation in kidneys has impaired the kidney structure. To improve renal function fundamentally, the patients should take relevant treatment which not only can clear up the immune complexes, but also restoring the impaired kidneys. In order to achieve the therapeutic goals, immunotherapy is recommended to the patients with stage 3 Chronic Renal Failure. Immunotherapy is a complete treatment system. Once the kidneys are repaired very well, the life expectancy will be extended enormously.
In addition, a healthy diet also plays an important role in extending the life expectancy of the patients with stage 3 Chronic Renal Failure.
