Kidney biopsy for elevated creatinine

[sukki2022]

My 68 yr old husband had a kidney transplant 7 weeks ago. We are at the hospital now getting a biopsy due to his rising creatinine levels. I have been so worried that his body is rejecting the new kidney, but after reading these informative posts, I am hopeful and less nervous.

I am now 23 years post transplant. My first 18 months after my transplant, I actually had 3 kidney biopsies for elevated creatinine. For me it was never rejection. But if it is for your husband, they can do something right away to reverse it.

Good luck and positive thoughts!
