Could Stress Be The Cause For High Creatinine Levels?

Thank you Doctor: I am a post heart transplant & valve reciepent of 17 years, with a pigs valve, but I have not went #2 for 6 days. When I did, it was a very tiny amount, like refried beans, & almost the same color. I have been under stress with my kidneys, having a 3.8 creatin level caused from the cyclosporin I have been on for 17 years. My bowels, up to when I had my physical, were moving twice a day, no problem at all. I have taken mirrorlax, physilam fiber. & vegastable laxatives, no results. Tomorrow will be 6 days & I am eating nornally. I just had a can of kidney beans, hoping it would give me gas. The kidney doctor said to be carefull what I take as a laxative. Perhaps prune juice ? This is at least embarrassing to write to you. I am hoping for better kidney results on the 10th of this month, (Wednesday), as I have been improperly tested in the years past. Will stress cause this ? I am a male, 70 years old & very emotional, as I always seem to think the worst. I have had so many operations. I tried a rectal supposatory, nothing. I have no explanation for my bowels getting out of wack. Can you please help me ? I would be most gratefull. I just bought a large Fleet emima to give myself, do you feel this will help ? Sorry to bother you, but there must be something that will work & not do any more damage to my kidneys. Otherwise I feel just fine. Many thans for your service. Tom Vassallo Winchester, Va.
