What Does The Creatine Level Of 6.81 Suggest?

Thank you for receiving my email question. I was admitted on May 10, discharged on May 17 for staph mrsa, and had a bad reaction to the antibiotic, my kidneys shut down and sepsis set in. I had one dialysis my creatine went from normal to 6.81 since then my blood work during my hospital stay resulted in a high protein spike I followed up with an oncologist who just gave me great news, she said my labs looked much better then when I was in the hospital my m spike is 1.0 I must have a bone marrow biopsy to rule out multiple myeloma. But my employer contracted with a clinic has a physician that will not release me to work, even though I am no longer infected and my labs are somewhat normal. he says due to the infectious nature and diagnosis he will not return me to work. I think he wants the bone marrow biopsy results, What are the chances of not having multiple myloeoma if the latest lab results are improved. Could it be my labs were off due to the infection mrsa, sepsis and kidneys non functioned?

Hi there
generally if the protein spike is due to multiple myeloma the blood tests will not improve without a specific treatment for multiple myeloma. In your case your blood tests improved with treatment of infection and kidney function so I think you stand a very good chance of not having multiple myeloma.
