Hello
Thanks for choosing HCM. I can understand your concern but the final treatment is the transplantation for any CKD patient. But in your case i think as the creatinine not that much high and if you dont have any symptoms you can be on medications and diet modifications like low potassium diet and high protein diet you can maintain like this without going for dialysis or transplantation.
Thanks
