Hi, Creatine level which you have mentioned is high,
Usually in our patient we keep both the options open, Dialysis need more compliance,sometimes patient don't will to do dialysis now and then,
Transplant is always better,with modern technique rejection rates has gone low and survival rate has increased up to 10 yr, But problem with it is matching the donor, So considering all the thing and good councelling with a nephrologist you can make a decision ,to go for dialysis or transplant.
Hope this information helps.
