no . that staging doesn't apply for you and you need to worry . the progression of transplant kidney friends in drugs, rejections and infections etc and the dynamics if profession are entirely different in transplant compared to native kidney disease. you can live with one kidney fir decades provided your transplant kidney is taken care properly right from beginning with out any complications
