It is very rare for a damaged kidney to recoverProf. Kim Dae-jung, Department of Nephrology, Samsung Medical Center

What are some unusual cases of kidney damage? The first is when blood pressure drops, and the second is when surgery has injected a contrast agent or a drug used for anesthesia into the body.

If you find yourself in this situation, addressing the cause can help your kidneys function return. However, if the kidney function has been reduced from the beginning, or if the cause persists for a long time without being resolved, it may be difficult to recover even if it is a temporary phenomenon, so you should take action as soon as possible.

In particular, patients with kidney disease due to blood pressure problems may benefit from a temporary increase in blood pressure. In a situation where the kidneys are recovering, you need to keep your blood pressure a little higher, restore your kidneys, and then slowly fine-tune them again to find the right blood pressure for your physical condition.
