I am a (53yrs) patient of CRF. My creat is 7.4 and BUN around 77.0. I am not on dialysis right now but doctors have suggested  preemptive renal transplant. At present I have a very busy schedule and work 12 hrs a day from morning 8.00 to eve 8.00. Of late, I experience some degree of tiredness in the evening. I would like to know whether my creat levels can be brought down by some other means or Transplant is the only means. By the way, I am a long standing diabetic (26 yrs), but I have small shrunken kidneys (6.0 x 4.0), and am hypertensive.
