Hi, M34 here. Its been 4 months since my kidney transplant. My baseline for creat was settled at 1.5. Initially it kept on increasing to 2.13 from 1.8 in 3.5 months. Then my doc introduced everolimus dose at 0.5 day and night and tacrolimus reduced to 1 day and night from 1.5. Creatinine started to decrease, and in 10 days it went to 1.75. Then everolimus dose is increased to 1 and tacrolimus dose in reduced to 0.75. Creatine again reduced to 1.59 with tac level 3.9. Now following the same dose for 20 days, my tac level increased to 4.9 from 3.9 and creatine increased abruptly from 1.59 to 1.85.

Is it happening because the tacrolimus or is there any other concern. Let me know if you can related to this situation or else feel free to give your suggestions/opinion

I had my transplant done 2.5 months ago, and for almost 2 months it was hovering between 1.75 to 1.84. I had my labs done a week ago, where the creatinine rised up to 2 with tac level 12.47. I had the diarrhea episodes before i gave my blood sample. Doc advised me some med to stop my body from dehydration and reduced my tacro dose and asked me to repeat the blood test after 3 days. When the reports came, the creat spiked up to 2.13 while the tac level reduced to 7. Doc advised to lower the tacro to 1 mg in morning & night and introduced everolimus 0.75 and asked to repeat the test after 5 days. I am really worried if the creat would still spike up! I am requesting the community to share your experience if you have gone through the similar situation.
