The information in this booklet is based on the NKF-KDOQI recommended guidelines. Stages of Kidney Disease There are five stages of kidney disease. They are shown in the table below. Your doctor knows your stage of kidney disease based on the presence of kidney damage and your glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is a measure of your kidney function. Your treatment is based on your stage of kidney disease. Speak to your doctor if you have any questions about your stage of kidney disease or your treatment.
