According to your symptoms, you can see which prescription and which Decoction should be used to eliminate your symptoms. When symptoms disappear, TCM doesn't care if virus is still there.

Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease

The stages of chronic kidney disease are determined by the glomerular filtration rate. Glomerular filtration is the process by which the kidneys filter the blood, removing excess wastes and fluids. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a calculation that determines how well the blood is filtered by the kidneys. It is one way to measure kidney function. Glomerular filtration rate is usually calculated using a formula that includes a person's age, gender, race, and serum creatinine levels. A GFR under 60 mL/min/1.73 m² may indicate kidney disease. The lower the GFR number, the worse the kidney function. This number is an estimate.
