What was your weekly dose before? Also what do you mean when you say your kidney function recovered? Thanks!
I used to take 6-8 mg a week (I even went up to 20 mg). My creatinine had suddenly risen by 40%, and is now almost back to my initial value.
Creatinine is affected by lots of things as well as kidney function.

I also had oliguria and other signs of AKI.That said, my kidneys were already weakened
40% is a lot. That said rapamycin appears to raise blood serum creatinine levels by 20%.

As John Hemming says “Creatinine is affected by lots of things”.
I have taken many blood tests over the past 2+ years I have been taking rapamycin.
There is no discernable correlation between my rapamycin intake and my creatine readings.
I’ve been taking Rapamycin for over a year, and my creatinine levels have dropped to just below the lowest point in the normal range. If your creatinine went up, there’s probably confounding factors involved.

My creatinine was .92, which is a very good number for me. However, it just jumped up a lot, without any changes in rapamycin dose. I blame viral infection and antibiotic that I took.
