Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
As the creatinine levels are already 10, it suggests there is already +95 % damage to the kidneys.
At this stage there are 2 options.
1 is to undergo regular dialysis as the kidneys wont be doing there function and the waste products will keep on accumulating in body which will have ill effects on the brain and lungs and heart.
2nd option is to undergo renal transplant which i think looking at his age that is 25, he can pull off the surgery well and the prognosis of long term survival will be better as he is young.
So, it will be advisable to undergo transplant surgery as advised by your doctor which is best option for him.
Thank you
