A member asked:
If creatinine level is 4.5 and if the person is clinically well, does it call for a transplant at this stage. female and age 54 yrs?

GFR: The GFR by MDRD is 10cc/min. Now MDRD may not have been validated for all population it is accurate for most. Preemptive transplant living donor is the best option if possible. Timing is a judgement call and has to be made in person. For most patients renal replacement is indicated once the GFR gets to 10cc. Have a open discussion with your transplant team . Best of luck
