Question

I'm 22 and was born with just one kidney. Lately, I've had high blood pressure and my serum creatinine has also gone up. It started at 1.9, then 2.24 after a few days, and on the day of my biopsy, it was 2.34. My eGFR is 40.8. After six days, my serum creatinine was 2.42 and potassium was 3.8. My doctor has put me on BP meds, defocord, and calcium tablets, and wants me to come back in a week. But Im worried. Is there hope for my serum creatinine to return to normal? Do you think Ill be okay again? How come I didnt notice any symptoms from the high BP and creatinine levels?
