My dad is 47/ had undergone renal transplant 6 months ago. for past 1 week he often gets fever (98.7-99.4 deg) .todays test indicated high ESR / creatinine 2.0. i dont have ESR values in hand at present. Is this indication of failure of transplanted kidney? pls suggest. any more tests to be performed..dad is right now enroute to visit nephrologist.
Hi, I will guide in the best possible way, Kidney transplant is done when creatinine level are very high, for e.g. somewhat near 10,Actually creatine 2 is not that high it means kidneyThat is transplanted is working, Though correlating with earlier investigation is neseceray, Other thing is to check urine output, It should be more than before in general sense, Fever may occur because immunosuppressants are given to prevent rejection, Hope this information helps, Seeing your Sr. Creatinine, urea reports Nephrologist will give you the best expert opinion, Wish you a good health.
