Could you finish your thought so the best possible answer can be given? 😊 In the meantime, it's worth noting that CKD at stage 3A can absolutely occur without high blood pressure or diabetes. Other causes include:
- Glomerular disease (damage to the kidney's tiny filters)
- Autoimmune conditions
- Genetic disorders like polycystic kidney disease
- Kidney infections
- Rare conditions like IgA nephropathy or membranous nephropathy
The fact that your phosphorus, potassium, and other markers are well-managed is genuinely great news! That kind of careful monitoring is exactly what helps keep stage 3A stable and prevents progression.
A MyKidneyDiseaseTeam member shared: *"I was diagnosed in 2015 with stage 3 CKD. I have watched it diligently since then and have been able to keep it stable."*
