The last set of labs showed high creatinine and potassium. I told my nephrologist I may have been dehydrated, and I have not been too diligent on taking the Lokelma daily. So she gave me another lab order, just for a small subset of tests. Those results came back high as well, so I am now doing a third set of labs. I am still missing a few days of Lokelma since it is a powder you need to mix with water, and you cannot take it within a three-hour window of all the other medications. The creatinine levels were around 1.6. Not terrible but definitely high compared to the normal upper bound of 1.3.
I do not feel I have done anything different, although blood sugar has been harder to control. I am not sure if I am building a tolerance to insulin, or i just need to eat a lot less. I am still on the Natera Prospera DNA test program, but they have not mentioned any signs of kidney rejection.
