Unfortunately, once kidney damage shows up on blood tests, this damage cannot be healed anymore. The only thing you can do is to slow down further kidney deterioration. This is best done with supportive care by your vet (fluids, phosphor binders and other medications your vet may prescribe as well as a kidney diet. A kidney diet is very highly recommended.
