Covid-19 and creatinine

[Dna4christ]

Hello, has anyone had covid and their creatinine was normal? Nothing changed??

[jennifer24]

Hey well I dont know if this really helps but I when 3 weeks ago to check for covid and to see if I have antibodies and I came out negative for covid but positive for antibodies which mean that I been exposed to it or had I was shock but my creatine just when up a little no big change and also my kidney dr told me.that he had a patient with covid and the creatine stayed the same take care ...

Thank you for answering!! I think unless you've had it severe, creatinine should be okay in theory...but we will just have to find out next week. Just had my labs done

Ook good luck just letting u kno I had my kidney transplant 19 years ago my creatine when from 1.3 to 1.4 then 1.5 but not too worry I did eat meat during the holidays so I knew it was going to be a little high also it goes up to 1.5 then down to 1.3 so not really worry just drink lots of water

[Dna4christ in reply to jennifer24]

Yes thats how my creatinine is too! 1.3 then 1.4 then 1.5.. when I had meat in my diet, it would range from 1.5-1.8 hahaha. No mean 1.3-1.4

[jennifer24 in reply to Dna4christ]

Yea well I guess we are around the same range lol for how long u had ur transplant ???

[Dna4christ in reply to jennifer24]

you mean to say that you have antibodies inspite of not taking prior vaccination?

I had COVID and my creatinine was still decent. What affects creatinine is moreso your hydration levels than any sort of infection.

[Dna4christ in reply to OperationKidney]

I hope so!! I read lots of articles on covid damaging the kidney which had me worried

[OperationKidney in reply to Dna4christ]

I mean it definitely can, and if you're worried I'd let your doc know.

[Dna4christ in reply to OperationKidney]

Yep just got my labs and seeing him next week

[blackkat2]

Had COVID 19 a few weeks ago; my latest labs show normal creatinine and everything else.

[Dna4christ in reply to blackkat2]

Thats awesome!! You had it mild?? I haven't heard other transplants getting the covid and doing well until now

I had COVID around the New Year. My creatinine actually went down a bit 1.4 to 1.2. Anxious to check again soon to where it is now that I have returned to “normal “.

[Dna4christ in reply to 76caddy]

Thats nice. Never had that happen to me when I catch a virus. It always goes up lol. Only when I'm pregnant, it goes down

I have COVID-19 now and my creatine has been going down since came to hospital. It went as low as .87 this morning. The doctors are saying that I might be loosing muscle as a result of low creatinine.

[Dna4christ in reply to Tahmed251]

Oh wow.. yes I can see that being sick and all. Hope it stays that way with normal muscle mass

[Dna4christ]

Thank you for all your inputs. My creatinine did rose a little but nothing new. It went from 1.4 to 1.6 which I had before. Doctor thinks its from covid dehydration as it hasn't been that long since my recovery!

I am sure your creatinine will recover in no time. Stay hydrated and rest up.
