Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
I am afraid this is late stage of kdiney disorder so complete recovery would not be possible,but if you have other kidneys you dont need to be worried and also, this one may recover to some 20-30% function .
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.DR. Ivan Rommstein
