Baseline Creatinine

Since January 2, my creatinine has been 1.76, 1.8, 1.85, and as of March 13 it was 1.8. I was told at my 1 year post-tx checkup that 1.8 is my baseline. I do wish it was lower. Does anyone else have creatinine levels around 1.7 to 2.0 after transplant? They tell me all is good but I do worry sometimes.

That is a great baseline. I am 1.8 and have been now for almost 7 years. Congratulations

Hello. My baseline fluctuates from 1.5-1.7 since 3 or 4 years ago. I'm going on 9th year now. As long as its stable, you're fine :)
