Creatinine at 1.1, which is down from 1.2 the last two or three draws!  Other numbers were lower, as well, but I was so happy about the creatinine I didn't listen to the nurse.  I was given the results over the phone whenever they called yesterday to reschedule my appointment cause my neph is sick.  I said I'd come back the end of January if my labs were good!  No need to go any sooner!   So happy and thankful!   :yahoo;

I'll do them again one week before my appt on Jan 26th.

My lowest was .9, but that was only for one or two draws and it was maybe my 2nd month post transplant.  I have been at 1.2 on most draws.

Yeah Chris, I hate it when they nurse says (with a sigh and strange look on her face) "You're labs are up this time.  The Dr will talk to you about it.".  Me:  "What's my creatinine?"  Nurse:  "Well, it's high at 1.4".   ::)    lol    Then the Dr. is like "It's up a bit.  We'll watch it.".

Do they not train or at least talk to these nurses?  They are all a little off.   Good luck with your next set of labs.
