So, you attribute your recovery from stage 5 ESRD with a GFR of what?--8,10,12? to a vegan diet? I wouldn't exclude the possibility.
But more likely, you developed a
temporary problem that caused your renal function to abruptly decline---such as brief hypotension, mild dehydration, small asymptomatic renal calculus, or a UTI, that then resolved.
The important thing is that you are free from dialysis, good for you!
