Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Kidney failure has many causes: for acute conditions like fever (reversible kidney injury), few course of dialysis is necessary. Later on, kidney will recover and dialysis will be no longer required.

For some kidney injuries (irreversible kidney damage), kidney transplantation will be the only treatment (dialysis will be there, but it has to be for life time).

Uncontrolled diabetes may lead to irreversible kidney injury. Are glucose levels being maintained?

So treatment will entirely depend on the cause for kidney injury.

My suggestion is please consult nephrologist for more suggestions and management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
