Suggest Prognosis Of Health Conditions With 30 % Functionality Of Kidney

My blood workup showed by Creatine to be 2.71. Last year it was 1.12. Just completed a urine cleanse and more blood work and they just called me stating my kidneys are working at 30%. I don t know the type but what stage would I most likely be at. I m scared I won t see my grandchildren grow up, go to college, get married etc. I just turned 60yrs old and female.

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must advise you to be an optimist.
A creatinine of 2.7 ,with 30% function of kidneys, can be treated medically or even surgically, depending on the cause of the kidney failure.
You've not mentioned if you're diabetic,anemic (Hb),uric acid,sodium,potassium,having other systems involvement,if kidney biopsy has been done,or ultrasound scan report.If you can send the reports to me, i can give you an expert opinion, regarding further treatment and prognosis.
