Question
Which of the following is the correct range of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) for Stage 2 chronic kidney disease?
The correct answer is
60-89 mL/min/1.73 $m^2$
GFR Range for Stage 2 CKD
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is staged based on the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which measures kidney function.
Understanding CKD Staging
- Stage 1 CKD: GFR greater than or equal to 90 mL/min/1.73 $m^2$ (with signs of kidney damage).
- Stage 2 CKD: GFR between 60 and 89 mL/min/1.73 $m^2$ (mildly decreased function, with or without kidney damage).
- Stage 3a CKD: GFR between 45 and 59 mL/min/1.73 $m^2$.
- Stage 3b CKD: GFR between 30 and 44 mL/min/1.73 $m^2$.
- Stage 4 CKD: GFR between 15 and 29 mL/min/1.73 $m^2$.
- Stage 5 CKD: GFR less than 15 mL/min/1.73 $m^2$ (kidney failure).
Therefore, the correct GFR range for Stage 2 CKD is 60-89 mL/min/1.73 $m^2$.
