They monitor it and every year the creatine level and gift clearance got worse by a few points but after 20 years the clearance had gotten real bad ..so it’s all about the numbers .. but I think now more then back then when I had my liver transplant I was on high doses of prograf and imuran and prednisone .. today I don’t think they start you and leave you on such high doses..they tapered them down to 1/4 of what o was taking and I’m good with that but it was to late on my kidneys .. so we all have to monitor our own blood test also .. we know our bodies more then anyone and if something doesn’t feel right ask and get checked .. all in all I think if you watch your creatine level it will go up but point that out to the doctors or ask ..I would like to thank everyone for all the messages and advice and tips so greatly appreciated..
Thank you Rose

@threerrr3 My creatinine levels went up from the immunosuppressants after my liver transplant too. I have to have lab work monthly. I have been directed to drink 80 - 100 ounces of non-caffeinated beverages a day, and doing that my creatinine is under control.
