Which one of the following stages of chronic kidney disease corresponds to a glomerular filtration rate of 55 mL/min/1.73 m2?
3A
By the KDIGO CKD staging classification, GFR of 45-59 mL/min/1.73 m2 corresponds to Stage 3A (mild-to-moderate reduction). A GFR of 55 falls within this range, so the correct stage is 3A.
