His kidneys will not recover completely
This condition is called CKD chronic kidney disease
But the progession of the disease can be slowed down
Remember creatinine just indicates function of the kidneys not the reason why the kidneys are getting damaged
He being bp patient, he may be having kidney disease since 9 yrs ,
We can use of tabs to slowed down the kidney disease
Remember most of the kidney patients will be losing protein through the urine which like poison to the kidney
So we need to reduce that loss
Next Steps
to basic urine test - routine/microscopy, urine PCR/ACR(wch ever available at your place)

Difficult to recover completely from the condition
He needs strict blood pressure control and other supportive measures to make sure kidney function is stable as much as possible.
Better to followup with a nearby nephrologist regularly
