Hi,
My mother was diagnosed with wegener's almost 2 months ago and her kidneys have been the most impacted. When admitted to the ER her creatinine was a 6.0 and it is now down to a 3.0 which is still high. She had blood work taken yesterday and her creatinine results came back 3.1 so now i'm in a panic. She is not on dialysis and there hasn't been talk yet about starting her. Her nephrologist is an excellent doctor and has had experience treating wegeners however he is not a specialist in it and we are planning contacting a doctor at JH in Maryland. I'm interested in others who had kidney involvement and creatinine levels at diagnosis and what treatment seemed to be most effective. I understand everyone is different and no treatment is the same but its nice to just hear others journeys.
My mom is currently on 100mg of oral cytoxan and 30mg of pred.
Thanks in advance!
