Hello
Everyone’s situation is different, but when my GFR went to 18 my nephrologist suggested to try to get onto the transplant list. Anything below 20 would make you eligible.
It takes s while and many tests before they would accept you but this way you may receive a kidney b4 dialysis is needed
Good luck

inquire about stem cells from kidney donor to kidney recipient before transplant takes plant if you should need one in near future. Preferably from immediate family mother, sister. Still in research stage several hospital in US presently have done this procedure. Appears very promising for many, FDA. take a long time to approve... IT will hurt the drug companies . Mayo, George Washington University Hospital, and others in US. This is great news for anyone that would not have to require anti rejection meds. On Google type in Stems Cell . Kidney transplant No Anti rejection medications. One must be your own advocate. Good Luck.

Thank you but I doubt he would be accepted. He has had aortic aneurysm surgery which is probably one reason for his kidney situation.plus he is 79 years old. Really just looking for something that will hold him where he is.
