Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist and transplant surgeon, let me advise you, not to worry. Mycept(mycophenolic acid) and Sandman(cyclosporin), are both immunosuppressants, so the kidney doesn't get rejected. The creatinine should remain in a close range. From 1.1, if it increases to 1.7 or 1.9, one has to rule out rejection. For this, blood counts, routine,urea, electrolytes,sugar, and ultrasound scan is must.  According to reports, your nephrologist will advise, about starting steroids. If you want my expert opinion, send reports as a direct question. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
