Elevated Creatinine, Wbc Post Intake Of Augmentin For Cat Bite. Had Normal Creatinine Post A Kidney Transplant. Reason?
I had a kidney transplant 1 1/2 ago and my creatinine has been running 2.8, i was put on augmentin yesterday do to cat bite and my labs were done this moring. My creatinine went to 3.0 and i was thinking the bite was infected or the augmentin my have raised it. Also my wbc was 11.4 witch is little high. Thanks, Jon

hi, your creatinine must have gone up from 2.8 to 3 mg% most probably due to infected bite. Since your wbc count is high , it does suggest infection. Augmentin is a safe drug, and in my opinion it should not increase your creatinine. Please consult your nephrologist who can monitor your kidney function. Take care
