Hello my husband was diagnosed with Stage 5 His GFR is 12.5 it was 16 only 2 years ago. His Bun is 33 and Creatine is 4.92.

His grandmother, mother and Aunt passed away from it. We go to the kidney doctor next week. He’s only 52 and refusing dyalisis if they tell him. I know he will not make it without it.

Just curious of anyone’s thoughts on his numbers. Thanks for listening
