Hello there!
Acute renal failures with short history have a chance to recur. Plus say no to NSAIDs and Strict electrolyte monitoring and a very competent nephrologist as age of 55 is already a geriatric limitation and needs support and renal friendly supplements. So what are you waiting for.

Seek the Nephrologist your kidneys can trust.
