When the Creatinine level shows low and well within the normal range, our happiness is quite evident to all. (So is our displeasure and disappointment when they values are higher...)
Over the course of all these tests, it has happened on many occasions that we learnt later from the doctors that the LAB was having mood swings.
Incidentally, the day my Creatinine was low, it was on the lower side for most patients - so something was wrong at the lab that day. The day my Creatinine was higher, it was on the higher side for most patients :D
Can there be some weather forecast like thing to know how the LAB was functioning a certain day so I can set my expectations right?
No wonder the doctors rarely have much of a reaction to the Creatinine value of a certain day - because its the TREND that matters to them. This fixation to the value of Creatinine seems to be this naïve thing patients do.
Today, as I awaited the value of Certican in my blood, I receive the Tacrolimus value instead. The LAB assumed the Tacrolimus value needed to be checked as that's what's been checked several times before - despite clear written instructions to check Certican levels. Phew!
Now they are going to run another test and get back to me about Certican levels by tomorrow...this decides future course of action with my medications!!!
Well!! Things happen - dealing with it all as it happens and watch the fun as an observer to my life.
