Hi, welcome to HCM
Looking to your history, it seems that you have Persistent UTI.
It requires evaluation regarding the site if infection and name of organism.
Do basic urine report with culture, s.creatinine, and Sonogrphy with post void residue.
GFR varies according to age , gender and other parameters.
Evenif your GFR is 33 ml/min, it is not end stage(GFR Consult your nephrologist and try to find out the cause of low GFR or you can get back to me with above reports.
Persistent UTI require prolong antibiotic course followed by sometime suppressive prophylaxis therapy.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
