No: The alterations in kidney function are largely permanent. Millions of americans live with chronic kidney disease, many are not even aware they have it! The best thing you can do is follow with your doctor to monitor your kidney function and manage the reasons you are affected. CKD is associated with heart and cerebrovascular disease but with the right follow up you can have a healthy life.

Usually not: However, the diagnosis if made only on labs may be bogus. A well-muscled man with a high creatinine may be told he has low GFR when he does not. Chronic disease can't be diagnosed except over time. Anyone's kidneys can be temporarily impaired by Motrin. And some loss of kidney function is part of getting older. Best wishes.
