Kidney complications with multiple myeloma can be incredibly concerning, and it's completely understandable to have questions about recovery and treatment options. While kidney function can sometimes improve with effective myeloma treatment, the outcome varies greatly from person to person depending on many individual factors that only the medical team can fully assess. Consider discussing with the oncology and nephrology teams about the specific factors affecting kidney recovery in this situation, as they can provide the most accurate picture of what to expect moving forward.

My kidneys shut down and I was rushed to the hospital. That how I found out I had MM. The medical team put an emergency port and started dialysis. Stared treatment for MM and dialysis 3 times a week. 3 months of dialysis and my kidneys came back to function on their own. No more dialysis. That was 9 years ago .
