my cousin  is having kidney problem with creatine level 10 point . when we consulted the Dr , they advised to go for the transplantation. after taking medicine it reduces to 9.7. Is there treatment without transplantation. his age is only 25.he is under medication.he is not going for dialysis. kindly help me identify the correct treatment.
Hello, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. As the creatinine levels are already 10, it suggests there is already +95 % damage to the kidneys. At this stage there are 2 options.1 is to undergo regular dialysis as the kidneys won't be doing there function and the waste products will keep on accumulating in body which will have ill effects on the brain and lungs and heart.2nd option is to undergo renal transplant which I think looking at his age that is 25, he can pull off the surgery well and the prognosis of long term survival will be better as he is young. So, it will be advisable to undergo transplant surgery as advised by your doctor which is the best option for him. Thank you
