Suggest Remedy To Stabilize Fluctuations In Creatinine Levels

Had kidney transplant on Jan 7th. I'm constantly having ups and downs with creatinine levels and fighting rejection. Numbers shot up today from 118, last week to 139. Just got over a rejection episode on Jan 22 and was in the hospital. Does, and when should I level out to stable?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon, i understand your anxiety.
After a transplant in january,you've had several rejection episodes.
The creatinine and potassium levels should've been written.
An ultrasound of the kidney graft should also be done.
After that,an isotope scan may be done,to find the cause for the rejection.
Once the Hb,creatinine and electrolytes,with urine output is normal,you're in a stable state. You'll need to have regular follow-ups with your nephrologist.
