Kidney damage in this stage is mild to moderate. Symptoms such as swelling in the hands and feet and feeling weak and tired may appear. An eGFR between 30 and 44 indicates stage 3b. Kidney damage is moderate to severe, and symptoms may progress Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term condition of the lungs where the flow of air to the lungs is obstructed. Symptoms include cough and In brief, this method assumes that the proportion of normal life expectancy for a given medical condition is the same at every age. Citation 18, Citation 29 For example, if the life expectancy in mild COPD is 90% of normal at age 50, then under PLE it would be 90% of normal at age 70 as well. When the EDR was negative, it was assumed to
