What was function: If you had normal kidney function there is a good chance you will recover over the next few weeks. If your kidney function was poor you may not. Vancomycin associated kidney disease is more common now because of higherr doses being used to treat MRSA and other infections. It generally causes tubular necrosis. Recovery is usually 10-21 days. Follow up with your kidney doctor.
