An increasing creatinine level while on Bortezomib (Velcade) treatment should be discussed with your healthcare team promptly. Since you're not currently on steroids, your doctor may consider adding high-dose dexamethasone to your treatment plan, as this combination has shown significant improvement in kidney function for many patients. Kidney function management is crucial for myeloma patients. Some key strategies include:

- Maintaining adequate hydration
- Monitoring and correcting calcium levels
- Adjusting treatment plans as needed
- Regular monitoring of kidney function

Your healthcare team may need to reevaluate your current treatment plan, especially since kidney dysfunction can significantly impact survival outcomes in multiple myeloma patients.
