Not out of the woods yet
At clinic this morning, I discovered my creatinine on Christmas Eve was 196 and my potassium has increased too. This is not good news and could mean that the rejection is still going on. Hopefully though, it is simply that the tacrolimus dose is too high and is poisoning me, causing reduced kidney function.
They can't measure tacrolimus levels at the Royal London Hospital and have to send them to another hospital to be tested. At the time I was in clinic, they hadn't yet got the results back from Sunday. They should have the results back tomorrow though and will then be able to decide whether they need to cut my dose.
I have to go back to the Royal London on Tuesday next week and probably at least once more after that before I transfer to Southend Hospital's Renal Unit on 10th January.
