Can a result from kidney function be reversible?

Yes, kidney function can sometimes be reversible. Certain factors, such as the use of certain medications like NSAIDs, can temporarily affect kidney function. It is recommended to wait 1 to 2 weeks after stopping the NSAID before retesting kidney function to ensure more accurate results. If the increase in creatinine levels was due to the medication, it could be episodic rather than permanent.
