Not directly. If an insufficiency is due to a temporary kidney condition, then it may resolve as the condition resolves. In many cases, however, the decreased erythropoietin production is due to chronic kidney disease and will not get better over time. When there is a known insufficiency, the doctor will work with the patient to address and minimize the effects of the resulting anemia and may treat the patient with synthetic erythropoietin.  more
