Is it possible to improve kidney function from stage 2 to stage 1?

Dr. Raj Singh answered

Sometimes : It depends on the underlying disease causing the kidney damage. Kidney function can improve in certain diseases such as vasculitis etc. Usually improves if excellent control of diabetes and hypertension is maintained. Stage ii is mild form of kidney disease and can be improved to stage i.
