I am female and was 59 1/2 5"4' 150 lbs. when I donated a kidney in 2021. My pre-donation creatinine level was .8, and my level immediately after surgery, and consistently since, is 1.30. I was really upset and afraid that I might be in trouble. My nephrologist said 1.30 is a healthy level for a donor (and for a recipient), but not to go over 1.50. I drink 64+ ounces of water daily and that keeps my urine clear. I would be interested to know if others have had the same comments from their nephrologist.
