What are good creatinine levels for donor after kidney donation?

@sameeh123, I might have already told you that I am a recipient and my organs came from a deceased donor. As a recipient I need to have routine labs that measure my creatinine among other things (beyond my knowledge). I am wondering about living donors as a result of your message, and I would like to ask you if there is a follow-up for donors after the initial surgical recovery? I am curious. Thanks.

I'm interested in hearing if other donors have a similar schedule.
I was seen at Mayo 6 months after surgery. I had the option to go back at the 1 year mark or to have tests done or have them done locally. I think there is more testing to be done locally at 2 years which I believe is right before any insurance coverage would end for donors.
Tests at 6 months & 1 year were renal clearance, 24 hour urine sample, 18 hour blood pressure test & many blood draws.
