Can renal tubular injury be repaired?
Disease description:
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with nephritis at the hospital, which was said to be caused by renal tubular injury. Can renal tubular damage be repaired?

Dr. Zhao Xinju
Whether tubular injury can be restored depends on the specific circumstances. If the patient has acute tubular injury that is mild, characterized only by damage to the tubular epithelial cells, there is a certain chance of recovery. However, if the patient has chronic renal vascular injury along with varying degrees of tubulointerstitial damage, restoration will be more difficult.
