Yes, almost always reversed.
It can be reversed provided early treatment has been taken
Absolutely, hydration can play a very big part in your kidney function, but you’ll need to work with a healthcare provider so they can check your kidney function.There are also many causes of renal failure that are not correctable.
In most cases, some of the damage can be reversed. It's best to try to avoid further insult to the kidneys.
