What are good creatinine levels for donor after kidney donation?

My wife donated her kidney to me, Her GFR prior to the donation was 101, immediately after the donation the GFR was 76, today 3 years have passed her GFR is 96.
In my view, genetics has a role to play apart from hydration diet etc, she is still a big consumer of salt but knock wood all is well with her.

Here is clip of a research paper that I read pre transplant : talks about Genetic influence on kidney nephrons & thus performance:
"In summary, the relationship between nephron number and body or kidney size is most likely to be demonstrated when there is greater phenotypic variation either from genetic and/or environmental factors.
Phenotypic variation in humans is a direct consequence of genetic variation, which acts in conjunction with environmental and behavioral factors to produce phenotypic diversity."
