Based on the details you’ve shared, yes — your kidneys have essentially recovered to near-baseline function.
Here’s why:
• You had acute kidney injury (AKI) due to severe dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea, which is a pre-renal cause (the most reversible type).
• You required temporary dialysis, which is not uncommon in severe AKI.
• Your urine output returned.
• Creatinine normalized to 0.85–0.9 mg/dL and has remained stable over multiple tests across 10 months.
• Urine ACR 3.79 mg/g is normal (normal
Next Steps
1. Monitoring (not aggressive testing)
• Serum creatinine + eGFR: once every 6–12 months
• Urine routine / ACR: yearly
2. Protective measures
• Avoid dehydration at all costs (very important given IBS)
• Avoid unnecessary painkillers (NSAIDs)
• Inform doctors about your past AKI before any new medication
3. When to re-evaluate urgently
• Reduced urine output
• Persistent vomiting/diarrhea
• Swelling, frothy urine, rising BP
At present, no dialysis, no renal medicines, and no “CKD label” are indicated.
Health Tips
✔ Maintain good hydration daily (especially during IBS flares)
✔ Use ORS early during diarrhea episodes
✔ Moderate protein intake (no high-protein fad diets)
✔ Avoid herbal / unregulated supplements
✔ Manage IBS proactively to prevent future dehydration-related AKI
You had AKI with full recovery, and your kidneys are functioning almost as they were before. The key now is prevention, not fear.
If you want, I can:
• Calculate your exact eGFR trend
• Assess your future AKI risk
• Create a kidney-safe plan for IBS flare-ups

yes , your kidney function appears to have recovered very well, and it is very close to (or essentially back to) your pre–acute kidney injury state.Your kidneys are functioning normally now.
Recovery from acute renal failure appears complete and no current signs of chronic kidney disease.
