I donated my kidney eight months ago and recently went in for lab work. Our insurance has recently changed, so I was seen by a new doctor who is not familiar with kidney donation or my history (can you say large managed care health insurance!). My lab results came back with creatine level of 1.3, GFR of 43, and protein in my urine. The doctor reran the tests a few weeks later and the results were similar. I am a 47 year old woman, who eats healthy, does not smoke or drink, and is of slim build. Since my surgery 8 months ago my blood pressure has risen, but not alarming as it has always run super low. My only complaint is that I have no energy since the surgery. I keep waiting for my pre-surgery energy to return, as I have always been high energy... and this is making me crazy! Anyone else experienced this extreme fatigue? Should I be concerned about my lab results? With the change in insurance I feel like I've fallen through the cracks with any follow up! Thanks!!! Dawn
