I have been diagnosed with ckd 7 years ago, i was 22. i am now 29. 7 years ago my creatinine was 1.8, i was even able to lower it to 1.6 in a week because i did a strict diet. Just recently I had an infection and been sick and have fever for 10 days. my creatinine went down from 2.1 two weeks ago down to 2.56 today. Im feeling frustrated because there was no proper diagnosis about what the infection was. My fever is now gone but Im still feeling terrible. Ive suffered from severe sleepiness, kidney pain,  tiredness and i sometimes feel cold.  If only this infection will go away I could be at ease again. I can manage to stabilize my function, however no one can identify my infection. Not until someone can cure my infection my kidney function will completely deteriorate in a month. I just have to express my frustration here. Thank you for reading

    That sounds terribly frustrating. I'm assuming you've seen your nephrologist several times for some help.

    I had two kidney infections late last year; one in November and one in December. I'm finally past them now as well as the cold I contracted with the second kidney infection.

    It is definitely miserable to have any sort of infection or serious cold on top of chronic kidney disease.

    Best wishes,

    I appreciate your replies. Yes it is very frustrating but i cant do anything at this point. Im just lifting it all up to God. My nephro just adviced me to take antibiotics for 14days to kill the infection. Antibiotics sounds sketchy to me, it might do harm than good on my kidneys. Also during my kidney ultrasound they found a 3cm cystic mass on my ovary. could this possibly affect my abrupt increase in creatinine? would love to here your thoughts
