Hi drama... Recovery of Kidney function depends on the nature of disease.. If the kidney injury is due to an acute cause like infection, dehydration, drugs then it is reversible... If it's in slow ongoing process like in diabetes and hypertension then most often it is not reversible.. You have not mentioned about what was her previous kidney function so difficult to tell whether it's reversible or not...
