hello, as you have not specified which country or state you are from it will be difficult for me to advise properly.
But i can suggest you to talk to your treating nephrologist about your concern about need of kidney transplantation.
If at all he feels the need for it, they will introduce you to the kidney transplant association in your country which will ask and run all the tests needed for it.
You can also find and contact them by searching on internet about the same. Or you can tell me your country and state, i may help you get some more information on the same. thank you
