Kidney Transplant: Does your creatinine bounce around?

Hi @mariags 😊
I am just "checking in" to see if your son had the nephrostomy tube procedure?
Did the doctor let you know "the plan"....how long the tube will stay in before being removed, does he feel the problem is inflammation and it will resolve within a few days of the tube or is there another fix that will be needed to repair the "plumbing problem"?
I hope all is going as planned and this temporary procedure will solve the issue for your son.
It will be nice to finally get to the point when you and your son can stop being on high alert and get back to a calmer normal. I say that about myself all the time.
Please update when you have a free moment on how things are going. Love to you, your son and husband ❤

Good morning, we had both the nephrotomy tube and a double j stent put in yesterday afternoon. They did not tell us of a plan yet. it was an interventional radiologist that did the procedure. we return Monday and hope to learn more then. what is concerning to us right now is the color of the urine which is quite red. they told us it should get better to a pinlkish by the end of the day today,,, but this is making our son and us very nervous; he did not sleep at all. we have a nurse coming in this afternoon to help with the flushing of the tube. this is not easy...any suggestiion?
