【 摘 要 】

Stage-3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the first stage that is identifiable from a blood test alone. In the UK, it accounts for the majority of people on primary care CKD registers. It also represents a group of people who, in the past, would have gone unnoticed clinically. In order to support patients and plan services, the natural history of stage-3 CKD is important.
