Explanation

Stage III chronic kidney disease is a condition where the kidneys are significantly damaged and are not able to do their job as well as they should. This means they can't filter blood properly, which can lead to waste and toxins building up in the body. It's the third of five stages of kidney disease, with stage five being the most severe. Symptoms may start to become noticeable at this stage, but sometimes they don't appear until the disease has progressed further.
