I got my labs back and got some more good news. My Creatinine fell from 4.1 to 3.7! My Hemoglobin is continueing to rise, it's now up to 13.3. I was wondering a while back why my hemo's were so low(were around 10 at time, on dialysis they were always 12-13), my neph said it was because I was only taking 1 shot of epogen per week instead of 3 times a week while on dialysis. So I broke up a single large dose into 3 smaller doses per week. It looks like it worked!
