Welcome @andysax. As @mir123 suggested you will find many members to connect with in the Transplants support group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/transplants/
To help you connect with others, I moved your question about rising and falling creatinine levels to this discussion that @hello1234 started when she was experiencing similar readings. See the full discussion here:

Andy, congrats on the new kidney. What does your transplant team say about the changing creatinine levels? You mention "common" doctor wants to do a biopsy. Which specialist have you seen?

You don't say what organ the transplant was for, but I suggest looking at the Transplant discussion and posting there-- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/transplants/
I hope you get some response here, but I think you'll get more specific information there. And maybe look up the discussion for the organ, like kidney etc. Feel free to add in any details that might help people respond. Thanks for joining in.
