Sleepy kidney

[Gwenkidney]

Hi all, Am hoping someone can reasure or give me some advice. I received a transplant on the 11th April 2023 and its been a rough ride so far. I spent a week in ITU and was hooked up to dopamine for 3 weeks to help my blood pressure.

My urine out has been slow, for a few days I got between 600-800ml but now am back down between 200- 300ml a day. GFR ranging between 10- 15.

And creatine rising to between 350 - 400 if I don't diaylize.

Had two biopsys and everything is perfect, scans are showing blood flow is good and my bloods are fairly good bar the urea and creatine.

My doctors are saying it's sleepy and it will hopefully it wake up, and that this can be totally normal for a lot of patients especially if its been a bit tough. but am losing hope. Has this happened to anyone else? How long did it take your sleepy bean to wake up ?

We have no direct experience with this - my hubby received a kidney and his performed immediately afterwards. But a fair number on other sites have reported waiting 2 months or more on. This has to be very stressful for you. Your tests seem to indicate this are fine, so I would trust my doctors and not worry.
