“How can I fix kidney injury after COVID?”

It depends on what type of kidney injury. Some people recover on their own and some don't. There is no real intervention depending on the type of kidney injury. We usually encourage patients to encourage oral hydration with fluids, avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and other medications that have the potential to hurt the kidney.

Unfortunately, the severity of acute kidney injury really depends on several factors such as patient's kidney functions prior to the illness, the duration of the illness, other comorbid conditions, whether patient required dialysis or not, as well as patient's recovery from COVID illness it self, to name a few.

In general, there is no specific "treatment", for acute kidney injury. The so called "traditional risk factors", for kidney disease will need to be managed appropriately which includes high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, heart disease as well as obesity, to name a few. One would need to avoid regular use of nonsteroidal pain medications as well. Hope this helps! Ravish Shah, MD..

You will get better if you don't have any other covid organ injuries.

We are still in the learning phase of what COVID injury is. It may be different in different people and depends how bad the whole COVID illness was. This is not an easy question to answer not knowing anything else about you. Unlikely to have any medications to fix a COVID kidney injury other than the same meds that you took for the COVID illness (if you did take any). If you have COVID kidney injury, you need to follow with a nephrologist for advice. Time is the best healer in general but there are exceptions and these exceptions depend on what type of COVID kidney injury happened. It is not all the same. You need a kidney specialist to formally evaluate your case and review what happenned.
