Transplant Surgeon Questions Kidney Transplant

What are the signs of kidney rejection?

I underwent a kidney transplant six months back. So far the doctors say my body has accepted the transplant well. However, I would like to be aware of what the signs of rejection would be?

Signs of kidney rejection are usually: decreased urine output, swelling, associated with increased creatinine. Please follow up with your nephrology if any of those symptoms occur.
Signs of acute rejection are fever, chills, decreased urine output, or blood in your urine. Most acute rejections are diagnosed in the lab by your increasing creatinine.
