Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Rise in creatinine to 1.6 from your baseline 1.4 and 1.5 are not much concern. but you need to get evaluated.
cmv infection
high blood pressure ( get ur bp checked at home with digital bp machine)
new onset diabetes after transplantation due to medicines you are taking
changes in the kidney occuring slowly
your doctor might suggest graft biopsy
the disease which caused your own kidmeys fail might recur in this kidney too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
