How high does creatinine get before dialysis is usually needed?

I had a liver transplant and suffered an acute kidney injury during transplant. I was at a pretty steady EGFR 36 until the last few months when the EGFR started dropping and the creatinine started increasing. I have been told it is likely the numbers will continue to decline over the next year.

@transplant2017 Well, that sounds like quite the experience! I will not pry but hope there was some kind of reckoning when the injury came to light. I hope the injury was not to both kidneys. To ease the burden on your kidneys, you may ask your team about switching to a kidney-friendly diet [low protein, low potassium, low phosphorus] now. Some people have been able to help reverse a downward trend in kidney function, this way. @kamama94 who posts in this group, did a lot of research on food plans for kidney patients. By modifying his food plan and lifestyle, my husband was able to ward off dialysis for 5 years, so I'll bet you can tackle this, too!
