I am amazed at how long you have been at stage 4. Have you done anything to stay there? I am 61 stage 4 and they are talking like dialysis is imminent. I am praying I can stay stage 4 for the rest of my life

I am 63 stage 4. For the past 4 years I have bounced between stages 3 & 4. My GFR has been between 14 - 42. I’ve been evaluated, approved & accepted for kidney transplant by 2 transplant centers. I am inactively listed with Mayo in Rochester, MN. They say that I’m currently “too healthy for transplant”. I’ve also been looking for a living kidney donor but haven’t found one yet. My advice to you is to do everything your medical team says you need to do to take the best care of yourself that you can. Then leave it all in God’s hands. Keep praying!
