Hi,

How is your father ? Elevation of the serum creatinine warrants further evaluation by his nephrologist.  Urologic complication, transplant rejection, infection and drug toxicity needs to be ruled out. Several tests such as ultrasound, and blood work-up needs to be done.  A gradual rise of creatinine over a longer period of time is a sign of chronic rejection. This is also  associated with proteinuria. Biopsy may also be indicated.

Take care and keep us posted.
