If you are talking about intrinsic renal failure, then you are dealing with acute oliguria/anuria, rises in BUN/creatinine (but decrease in ratio), rise in K+, decrease in Ca++, increase in PO4---, increase in PTH.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Sorry I should have worded it like this:
What are the stages and some symptoms of chronic kidney disease??

I dont believe you would so much be worried about stages...symptoms are easily discernible as they are usually listed on one page of a path book (i.e. membranous vs. focal segmental, etc...) I would know the way these look under the scope as well. Kidney was actually a big part of my exam, and the part I did the worst on.

We work well together.
My pops asked me the stages of renal failure, this is what i found and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts.
This is what i found:
Most of us know the symptoms hyperkalemic metabolic acidosis , azotemia, etc. Early on the pt is unable to concentrate his urine, later there is inability to dilute his urine.
Stage 1-kidney damage with normal or GFR greater then 90
Stage 2-kidney damage with mildly decrease GFR between 60-89
Stage 3-moderately decrease GFR between 30-59
Stage 4-severely decrease GFR between 15 -29
Stage 5-kidney failure- GFR below 15 or dialysis
Treatment goes from dxing and rxing and treating comorbid conditions./to estimating progression/to
evaluating &treating complications /prep for kidney replacement/to kidney replacement
