Hello @tjdog 😊
It's so great to hear from you!
You included excellent information about the new biomarker noninvasive blood tests. Thank you for the link, this is important information for everyone!
I am so happy to hear that you avoided the invasive biopsy and had the blood test instead.
Has your creatinine returned closer to the 1.4 or is it still elevated or bouncing around?
Are they going to continue to search for the cause of the elevated creatinine with an ultrasound or something like that? Or is your team satisfied that it's fluctuating between 1.4 and 1.9 and no biopsy needed?
Thank you again @tjdog 😊 for joining in the discussion!

My creatinine still goes up and down between 1.4 and 1.9. That just seems to be normal for me. Since the rejection test was negative, there are no plans for further tests.
Both of my transplants are from deceased donors. Creatinine levels for my transplant in 1994 were always above 2.0. But it kept working for 25 years.
