Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist and transplant surgeon, let me advise you ,not to worry.
Mycept(mycophenolic acid) and Sandimmun(cyclosporin), are both immuno-suppresants, 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.
