    Neffie, I'm Stage 3B with latest eGFR reading at 41.  There is no treatment available (or necessary) at this stage, other than ensuring that blood pressure is kept within normal parameters, by treating if necessary.  We can help ourselves to a certain extent at this stage by following a healthy lifestyle, avoiding salt and drinking plenty of water - the latter providing we haven't got a kidney condition  where liquids have to be restricted.

      Really no symptoms so far kidney-wise, just have horrible side effects from so many different blood pressure medications as I'm proving very sensitive to so many of them, some of which even reduce my kidney function still further.

    Im at stage 3a. Creatinine is 1.3, Gfr is 51. Symptoms are Fatigue, Anemia and loss of apetite. No clue on cause. My Dad and Grandma both died of renal failure but were not genetic circumstances. I'm also Epileptic... Doctor has no special instructions for me yet. My blood pressure is stable at 110/68 but im only 30... things will change in the next 10 years. Doc says my kidneys will likely fail. Good luck!
