@sheeb Yes, the GFR can go back up, but that is not always a good sign. In fact, it can be a strong danger signal. It can show progression in certain diseases such as amyloidosis. And a high GFR is pointless if it only shows that the kidneys are removing urine, and not the protein pieces in the serum or plasma. So its a mixed bag.
