Waiting for an improvement
I was expecting to go home this morning, but the doctors came and told me that they haven't yet seen an improvement in my kidney function following the methyl pred and so they're keeping me in.
They're going to do urgent bloods in the morning and if they still see no improvement then, they are going to do another biopsy. If that shows that the situation has improved, they'll send me home and monitor me in clinic, if it hasn't then they will start with more aggressive treatment.
I don't seem to be in any immediate danger though - my creatinine is hovering around 200. The treatment they are doing now is apparently about making the kidney last 10 or 20 years rather than 5.
In the meantime, I have to try and find ways of keeping myself amused, which basically means getting out to the Internet cafe at every available opportunity!
