Hi @surbhisharma5810, welcome to the patient community. You're asking a question that only your mum's medical team can answer. Has transplant been discussed as a potential option for her? Are you able to accompany her to her medical appointments to discuss treatment options?

They did a microbiology test for her, to check which bacteria is causing the infection but the results turn out to be negative which means there is no bacteria present in her kidney. I wonder then how her creatinine is 2.50 and B.UREA is 97.

The doctor has not suggested transplant but he wants to continue her medication, I am wondering what if these are early signs of CKD.
Unfortunately, I can't assist her because we live in two different countries.
