I donated a kidney to DH a couple of months ago. All has been well so far, but his creatinine has been slowly rising. His creatinine spiked over the weekend and they ordered an ultrasound which shows swelling and they have said the body is rejecting the kidney.
They are hoping to biopsy the kidney tomorrow but I'd love some advice of what happens next ( DH's consultant is on holiday and his current practioner is being a bit vague). We are not sure what treatments are available or how we can work back from this. DH is extremely anxious and has told me he won't go back on dialysis if it does reject (he is panicking and I know he doesn't mean this).
I'm a bit extremely worried and would love advice from anyone who has knowledge of this.
Thank you for reading.
