@lizzylou69 I am almost one year post kidney transplant but. even up to the time of the transplant when my eGfr was even less than 23, I was able to live my normal life. In order to help maintain and preserve your remaining kidney function, be sure to take your meds if any are prescribed, keep your appointments with your nephrologist, eat a kidney-friendly diet, and exercise. I was able to live a normal life for many years with stage 4 kidney disease. Wishing you all the best.
