I was stage 3b for the last three years, then I got a very bad kidney infection late February while travelling in Asia. I am living in Italy, do not speak the language, so depend on family to interpret for me. I have an eGFR of 25...quite a drop in a matter of two weeks, as I was a steady 36 or better, before that. Is it still possible that my numbers could improve, as my last blood test was 20 days after finishing up antibiotics for the infection? I am not sure what I should be doing now, other than watching my BP, sugar levels, sodium and being careful of proteins, potassium and phosphorus. What are the pros/cons of getting a kidney transplant and during what "window" of time should I be ready for that? I appreciate any suggestions and understand I need to run things past a doctor, but I sure appreciate others' experiences and ideas!
