It is likely that the creatinine would be gradually increasing. She might require Renal replacement treatment either in the form of dialysis or Renal tranplant. The conservative measures would work for a while and later on active intervention will be required. If she has diabetes or hypertension, then control of these would help to keep the residual kidney function intact and prevent progression to a certain extent
