Thank you, Lynn. I will. Three weeks away from Rochester. Hoping for good results and that we can move forward. What is your GFR at this point? My husband's is around 18.

@fauneconner - My GFR is 22. I will meet with the transplant team once it is 20 (national standard) which my nephrologist predicts will be in the next year (by the end of 2018). My disease, PKD, has a fairly predictable rate of speed of kidney failure although nothing is set in stone.

Is your husband feeling ok? I assume he is not on dialysis yet? My goal is to avoid dialysis altogether as that is ideal for the most successful kidney transplants. It sounds like you two are being proactive as well.
