Dear patient,
It is uncertain if those changes are reversible unless we know the specific cause of them. I suspect that they could be related to uncontrolled hypertension. I urge you to please consult a physician who can prescribe appropiate medications to get the pressure under control and avoid a stroke or further kidney damage; homeopathy usually is not effective to treat this entity.
