A member asked:

Can kidney damage from anorexia and overdoseing be fixed? if so what can i do to fix it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is possible: Generally speaking the degree of recovery from kidney injury depends on the severity of the insult and the age of the patient. Being so young, if further injury can be avoided and if the injury was not too severe, there is a good chance that complete healing can occur.
