Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Hi there , Welcome back. I did try and send this before but it seems to have become waylaid. I did write a table for just this purpose but I cannot find it. To answer your immediate problem, serum creatinine 0.25mmol/L = 2.83mg/dl Derrick Sydney Australia > Hi, I was a regular reader when I was first diagnosed over 2 years > ago, but I haven't been here much lately. > > I met with the neph again and it looks as though I am taking a > serious dive.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 , Found the chart, go to Files>Lab Results>Creatinine Lab Results on the left hand menu, there it is.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Hi , I definitely remember you. It is good to hear from you, although not to hear the news that you have declined. You are about the same place as Connie and I now. How about the three of us make a pact to hold out at least 10 years before dialysis? That sounds very good to me! How are you enjoying life in Australia? I hope all else is going well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I'm in....and holding All kidding aside, a warm welcome back to you . I, like , don't ever like to hear of a decline, but I'm glad that you found your way back here. We now have in the neighborhood of 900 members and it seems to grow everyday. Jump in at any time and definitely keep us posted on your health. (I have to put some money on it!) Connie Re: Back again Hi , I definitely remember you.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Thanks so much, Derrick. It's a bit of a shock, though, in translation. My serum creatinine had been 1.4-1.6 for the last 2 years and now its gone to 2.8 in the last 4-5 months. Well, I feel generally OK so I will just have to count my blessings and take things as they come. Thanks again, Melbourne, Australia (and hello again and Connie--thanks for the welcome back) > > Hi, I was a regular reader when I was first diagnosed over 2 years > > ago, but I haven't been here much lately. > > > > I met with the neph again and it looks as though I am taking a > > serious dive.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 , It may not be anything to worry about, you may have had a virus, and a flare up as puts it sometimes. You should really plot a graph of reciprocal serum creatinine over a significant period of time, say six months for it to be really meaningful. It is a straight line graph, if not, something else is happening. How do you like living in Melbourne? A sedate city, I found it.
