Can a kidney regain its function after hydronephrosis is treated surgically? Are there any medicines or treatments that can help restore kidney function? The hydronephrosis was caused by a long standing stone blockage.

Surgery can help if treated early. Long term blockage may cause permanent damage. Medicines can protect, but not fully restore function. Hydration, BP control help kidney health. Do Serum Creatinine, Ultrasound to monitor.

Hi Sir/Madam, My grandmother has been admitted to the hospital with a creatinine level of 2.1 and a urinary tract infection. She is also diabetic. I would like to know if this condition can lead to dialysis, or if there is a chance that her creatinine levels can be brought down with treatment. If dialysis becomes necessary, how long would she need to continue it? Please guide us.

Recently, he had a problem where he was not able to urinate properly, but there was no pain. Creatinine level is 0.88 to 1.2, checked in different labs for repeatability. After consulting two different nephrology doctors, we are confused. One suggests normal kidney function, and the other suggests 20 percent kidney damage with a recommendation for Renosave medicine. We would like to know whether we need to take any medicine to prevent further kidney damage or if we should monitor eGFR to see any abnormality by creatinine level in blood tests? As per doctors suggestion, a DTPA test was conducted to examine kidney function. Following are the test report comments: There is abnormally increased circulating background tracer noted, suggestive of renal parenchymal dysfunction. Bilateral subnormally functioning kidneys without obstruction. Low normal limit of GFR for age greater than 70 ml/min. Kindly clarify and also suggest whether we need to take preventive medicine in this case or not to avoid any kidney damage?
