@hello1234 I had replied to you under another discussion about veggies and CKD https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/veggies-that-are-good-for-ckd3/?pg=3#comment-745514

I believe your concern is well-founded. I never wanted to do anything that would subject my native kidneys to "tank", and my oncologist agreed that he wanted a cautious approach. In years past, I have had contrast, when my eGFR was much higher. My complex cyst is under observation with an extended timeline at this point. Previously they had thought it was a tumor.

Please be gentle on yourself.

Thank you @gingerw 😊 I appreciate your information and experience with both the MRI contrast and your complex cyst!
I think I am going to need to discuss all the pros and cons with transplant. I am pretty sure that once you have a transplant, they feel confident that your GFR and kidney function can handle the contrast with no adverse effects. But with my recent diagnosis of BK virus and mild calieltasis, the contrast idea is really worrying me.
Thank you again for always being there for me Ginger! I will definitely keep you posted.
