How long before stage 3 turns into stage 5?

[zisisge]

If someone is diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease egfr 58, how many years can they expect to have their kidney function before a transplant or dialysis is needed?

My mom is in stage 5 kidney disease, we just found this out at her dr appt two days ago. Her creatinine level is 3.3, her GFR is 13, and her Bun is 30. Dialysis has been brought up this last appt. I have no idea myself, how long she can live with stage 5 kidney disease. She has had high blood pressure, and diabetes for years now. I know both are common causes for acquiring kidney disease.

I'm 38 yrs old diagnosed  IgA nephropaty when I read all those things I'm totally scare coz I dnt know my gfr what stage am i. All I know that i'm in GRADE IV in these desease since 2010. My doc. said when you have these desease the life span of kidney is up to 10yrs  that bracket tell you will you survive from this desease? My doktor give me Losartan 50mg for high blood but my BP & fish oil 12pcs a day. Fish oil is good for glomerular coz it's like a vein/artery in kidney.
Now I'm in 5yrs now and I'm scare I still have 5yrs to determine if I will survive
My blood test show normal creatine, my cbc result is okey but rbc is a little bit low so my doc. Alway give me iron+fa to drink.. my urinalisys protein show +1 or +2 sometimes trace.. blood  trace or more...
My weight b4 53kg now 60kg. Due to too much eating..I'm not eating pork or red meat or drinking soda. Maybe it just b'coz I did not cook on my own food I just become lazy when I come back home and allowed my self to eat my mother cooked food .
Now I'm worried can somebody help me how to lose weight but I dnt know how, I want to try some natural cleasing drink that give good benifits to the body but I'm afraid to try. Due to May aggrivate  my kidney if I try.

I also have neither high blood pressure nor diabetes.  So my diagnosis is confusing as well.  That leaves the only options as hereditary or non hereditary polycystic kidney disease since I do have have a total of 8 cysts in both kidneys.  There is a test to determine if it's hereditary but my insurance won't cover the test which I was told costs nearly $10k.

I am in the same situation,  I am 46 years old and just found out I am in stage 3.  I am still shocked and scared to death of dying.  I need all the help and support I can get too,  so if you know of anything please let me know too.  I don't have high bp  and I am not diabetic,  so they cannot figure out why my kidneys are in stage 3 at my age.

I'm 43 and was diagnosed with CKD Stage 3 last week.  My creatnine is 1.48 and my GFR is 55.  This came as a shock since I've been pretty healthy my entire life.  Now I'm just in a learning stage trying to get as much information as possible.  Only instructions I was given by my nephrologist was to drink a lot of water and eliminate sodium from my diet as much as possible.
