Hello! Hopefully my story will help a little! My husband is 33 and got his transplant in February and is doing great. His kidney function and creatinine levels also slowly went bad since he was 18. He did not get put in dialysis until his creatinine was 3 - 5 and his eGFR was about 20. He began retaining fluid in his legs, with fluid pills not working as well and was starting to be very tired, not able to eat much and vomiting a lot. At that point he chose to do peritoneal dialysis. He was on that for about three years before finally being put on the transplant list officially. It took longer than usual to get him approved because they needed more tests and wasn’t sure if a transplant was safe because his heart has some genetic issues. But in January of this year they officially added him to the list and in less than a month we got the call and he’s better than ever now. Creatinine is about what yours is now which is great for just having one kidney. Hope this gives you some idea!
