I'm  so  sorry  to  say that if  this has  been  a  slow  creatinine  rise   (chronic)  then  no,  there's  is  no  way  to  reverse the  damage.  However, you  can  help  maintain  it  where  it's  at.
Avoid  as  much  sodium  as  possible,   keep  blood pressure  close  to  normal  levels  (if  that  requires  medicine,  then  take  it  as  prescribed),  drink plenty of  fluids  (  at least  64oz/day)   do  not  take  any  OCT  NSAIDs (over  the  counter pain  relievers,  which  contain  ibuprofen,  or  aspirin)
here's  a list:   http://www.lyberty.com/encyc/articles/nsaid.html

Keep an  open  communication with  Drs   as  what  to  do  or  how  to  maintain your   kidneys  at  the  level they're  at.

Take  care!

An  infection will  definitely  raise your   creatinine,  especially  if you're  taking  oral  meds  and  even more  when  Drs  give you  IV  antibiotics.   Yes  antibiotics  can  be  very  toxivc  to  our  system,  yet  they  work  to kill whatever  bug  is  hurting  us.

How  old  was your  donor?   Was  your  donor  alot older  than you?    is  that  what your  Dr means  by  "your  kidney  is  old" ?

Take  care!   :)

Sorry  to  hear your  kidney   creatinine  is  rising.
What  do your  Drs  say about  that?            how   long has  this  been  going  on?    Are you   taking  any  antibiotics,   diuretics  or  any  new  drugs  regimen?    Are you  drinking  plenty  of  water?
You  know  that  tacrolimus  is  a  great  and  powerful   drug  which  prevents  organ  rejection.   BUT, if  the  tacro  concentration  in the  blood  is  too  high, then  it  can  damage  the  kidneys.
You need  to  make sure you  stay  well hydrated,  drink  lots  and  lots  of  fluid,  try  to  avoid  caffeine  or  limit  it,  because  caffeine  causes  dehydration.

Good  luck!!
