@rawland1 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Being told you have Chronic Kidney disease [CKD] can be pretty confusing, right? Here is a link to show you the different stages, which are based on your eGFR [estimated glomerular filtration rate] number.

As you will read here on Connect, and read in your studies, different stages can affect people very differently! Take your time and learn what is best for you. Please let me know if you have any questions?

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 3b is defined as a moderate to severe loss of kidney function, characterized by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 30-44 mL/min. Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling, nausea, back pain, and abnormal urination. This stage requires careful management and regular checkups to monitor kidney health and prevent further decline
