Hello
Thanks for getting back with the details.
It is good that you have been put on Telvas for the proteinuria. Here are my suggestions
1. If your serum creatinine on discharge was below 1.2 then I recommend that a renal biopsy of the transplant kindney is done to know why your serum creat is on the higher side
2. Get a tacrolimus level done, in our institute we aim for tacrolimus to be around 5, 6 months post transplant
3. Rest everything is fine, there is nothing to worry as of now. You are on correct treatment
