For patients after kidney transplant, some can have normal kidney condition as healthy people, while some may have also kidney problems, the most obvious one of which is high creatinine level. This is mostly caused by the below factors:

Besides, patients are suggested to have no salt food for the early weeks after kidney transplant, which is to avoid high blood pressure.

Creatinine is an end product of muscle metabolism. Thus, if exercise is taken too much, creatinine level in body can elevate. In this way, kidney is also put more burdens to remove excessive creatinine from body through urine.
