Is High Creatinine Level After Kidney Transplant Normal?
Is it unusual to have a higher than normal creatinin level (2.0 - 2.5) after a kidney transplant? I donated my kidney to my husband 3 months ago and I am much smaller than he is. The doctors say this may be a factor, but we are still worried that it might continue to be a problem. They have not done a biopsy yet to determine the health of the kidney.
Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. High creatinine levels after transplantation indicates rejection most of the time but to confirm it you need to have a graft biopsy done. Some times after proper treatment the creatinine level will come to normal in transplantation patients. Hope this answers your query.
Regards, Dr.Alekhya.
