My son is 21 yrs. old and has kidney disease. His creatinine level is 6.8. He has familial nephritis, what form do you have? What is your creatinine level at? He said he talked with a man the other day whose levels were at 7.5 and started taking prednisone, now after 6 weeks, his creatinine levels are at 2.6!! That seems amazing, but if it works, WOW!
Usually I have heard people take the prednisone after they have a transplant as an anti rejection drug. I don't know about the dizziness but that may be more due to your high blood pressure.
Keep us posted on your results and good luck.
Regards.
